Ideal weather encouraged a good crowd of locals to head out to Birdwings Spring Fair at Guanaba. Narell the co founder of Birdwings has been a passionate advocate for the environmental education for many years. Big credit to her and her team for what they have achieved.

Having a chat with Steve from 7 News about a recent survey I sent to residents who live in the rural areas of the Coomera River Valley. The survey asked for their opinions about the future of their valley and if they want any zoning changes.

The vast majority of residents asked to keep the valley rural precinct.

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.

On the may back from visiting a couple sporting groups and the Oxenford Men’s Shed, I had to take a photo of the dark clouds enveloping Wongawallan.

Please take extra care on our roads this afternoon and tonight.

Biggest tree plant (10,000) is happening at Oxenford till 1pm. So far we have planted over 3,000! Well done all involved and CR William Owen-Jones Division 2, Gold Coast for funding this event. Plus we had Ormeau Scout Group, Helensvale Scout Group, Lions Club Upper Coomera and many others all working hard.
