Quang Long Bradley thank you for your 20 years as a school Chaplain at Helensvale State High School and Helensvale State School. You have helped so many students over the years and our community is forever grateful for your dedication.

Great response for Crime Stoppers outside Woolworth Oxenford. Kay and Ron are the best volunteers an organisation could ever wish for. They are always the first to volunteer. Plus it was good for me to catch up with heaps of locals for the last 4 hours.

Quick check of the riverbank upstream from the John Muntz Bridge. The Coomera River has eaten into about 8 meters of bank. If the riverbank isn’t armoured, the river will continue to eat away at the riverbank as it makes its way to the John Muntz Bridge.

The Coomera River has continued to erode sections of the Oxenford Pony Club upstream from the John Muntz Bridge. The Pony Club has lost another 5 to 6 meters of land. Last week I did a speech in State Parliament highlighting the riverbank will continue to erode if reinforcements aren’t carried out to protect the land upstream. The river will slowly reclaim the land as it makes it way to Tamborine Oxenford Road.

Thank you for supporting local small businesses this weekend!!! Every dollar we spend locally is returned many times by employing locals and small businesses sponsoring community and sporting groups.
