As most of you are aware, the Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is planning a new rail station at Helensvale North and I am seeking your support to sign a petition to increase the amount of car parking spaces at this proposed facility. I have been contacted by concerned residents who feel the planned 172 to 174 car parks for commuters will be insufficient and will force rail patrons to use local streets for parking.

Quick catch up with Ben Findley (Chaplain from Helensvale State High school) to discuss a few programs.

Community Roadside Wednesday at Helensvale near the Senior Citizens hall on Discovery Drive.

I was happy to help out the Gold Coast Men’s Walk and Talk group with an new BBQ for their weekly meetups. They meet at Damian Leeding Park on Saturday mornings at 7am. If you are new to the area, come down and meet new people.

Please support our local small businesses this week. With the lockdown last week, a lot of our small businesses experienced a 50% drop in sales. Therefore they need your support. Every dollar spent locally is returned many times.
