For the first time, Queensland has attracted more first year graduate doctors than anywhere else in the country. More than 930 new first year graduate doctors will start their training this year – including 107 in the Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service. The Crisafulli Government is delivering easier access to health services for all Queenslanders.

Merry Christmas from our local heroes, Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade and Pimpama State Emergency Service. They even had a very special guest riding in the big yellow truck — Santa himself! 🎄 Santa isn’t quite used to the Queensland heat, so a big thank you to the air-conditioned truck for keeping him cool

In the true spirit of Christmas, the Rotary Club of Coomera River has packed and delivered 65 hampers for families in need this festive season. This is an incredible effort by a group of dedicated volunteers and the many hours of fundraising. Thank you Rotary Club of Coomera River!

Duncan and Grant have become local celebrities in Oxenford, having run SPAR Express Oxenford for more than 14 years! Their store has been loved for its amazing hot food, friendly service, and most importantly the legendary sweets.
