Last week in parliament I spoke about the wonderful work our local Police are doing, but we need tougher legislation (sentencing) inline with community expectations.

Very proud moment for the Coomera and Helensvale Scout members carrying their World War 1 plaques with pride at today’s services at Upper Coomera. The sacrifice of our veterans and serving defence force personnel should never be forgotten. Huge thank you to Northern Gold Coast RSL and Coomera Valley Rotary for their efforts at today’s services.

The Crime Stoppers crew is planning upcoming events and fundraisers across the Northern Gold Coast. We have a few Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, Seniors Expo, Mudgeeraba Show and Canungra Show to plan for. Plus it is good to see a couple new members at tonight’s meeting.

Busy week of committee work meeting with farmers, scientists and environmental groups to discuss a new environmental bill that will impact many regions. Interesting hearing multiple perspectives on the issue.

Teddy bears picnic at Upper Coomera Community Centre all thanks to Upper Coomera Neighbourhood Watch! Nicole and Nadeyn would have to the busiest NHW coordinators on the GC. But it good to see they have teamed up with a new helper, a rather large teddy bear.
