Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2017 - Ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie

It's hard to describe the unbelievable generosity by the community with the mountains of donations received today. CedarCreekWolffdeneRFB is overflowing with the charity of others for those who have suffered in the recent flood event. Thank you thank you thank you.

One of the iconic businesses of South East Queensland, Yatala Pies suffered extensive damaged to most of their equipment. But like much of the community that has been affected by the flooding, family, friends and strangers have pulled together to help each other out. The opposition leader Tim Nicholls MP saw firsthand the wonderful team spirit of our region, "helping those in need". Next week, Yatala Pies will be open to the public ready for the Easter Holiday Trade.

Today the Shadow Minister for Main Roads Andrew Powell surveyed the damage to the riverbank along the Coomera River. I have also invited the Minister for Nature Resources to personally view the extensive erosion of the Coomera Riverbank and to implement ways to limit future erosion.
