The big dry is hurting local businesses. Spectrum Plants Gold Coast wholesale nursery is having a run out sale and needs your support. 50% off all plants as they only have a few weeks of water in their dams. They have top quality plants going cheap. The nursery is located at 161 Kriedeman Road Upper Coomera / Wongawallan.

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.
