Thank you everyone who participated in today’s Coomera Catchment Group tree plant at Oxenford. 800 trees planted in just over an hour. Not a bad effort.

Rain over the last couple of days hasn’t impacted the Coomera River height. Levels are still some way below minor heights. Unfortunately, the riverbank continues to collapse. The first two images are of the riverbank after the recent minor flooding a couple weeks ago where we lost 10 to 12 metres of riverbank.

Over the last three years I have continually written to the Labor government seeking urgent funding to reinforce the vulnerable Coomera Riverbank upstream of the John Muntz Bridge. (Attached are a couple of the many responses from the government)

Quick reminder Hazard reduction burn today Between Reserve Road and Wongawallan Drive Upper Coomera Winds will push smoke in a northeast direction and will turn westerly by the even before returning to northeast direction.
