Day one for our newest small business owner, Karen who is a dedicated VMR volunteer at Jacobs Well. Her business is called Bean On The Run. Supporting our local businesses creates local jobs. Good on ya Karen!

With violence becoming so prevalent, we need laws that meet community expectations, especially for our emergency service workers and those working in our schools and hospitals. For the most deplorable crimes, a matter many residents have been passionate about, justice should reflect severity of the crime and life should be life in prison.

Beaudesert Beenleigh Road Upgrade near Shaw Pocket was completed just in time for Christmas. The upgrade allows vehicles to travel around the bend more safely at speed (80kmh). Thank you to the community for helping me achieve this goal. Now we need to fix the bend on Beaudesert Beenleigh Road 800 meters south of Dunns Road. It has claimed too many lives.
