Keep the 15th of July free! Coomera State School will be celebrating their 150 year birthday. The school is planning a huge fete and celebration which will include displays, memorabilia, stalls and rides – something for the whole family. Big shout out to Kerri Underwood, Principal Nicole Page and their team of dedicated helpers. I delivered a quick speech in Parliament last night - only had 3 minutes but could have talked for hours on this magnificent school.

Congratulations Mr Patrick Innes-Hill on officially being sworn in as the Principal of Coomera Anglican College. You have a wonderful school community and am sure will continue the great work of retiring foundation Principal Dr Mark Sly.

Scouts at the Queensland parliament. Brady is from Mudgeeraba scout group and I have to add, he is a wealth of knowledge. He is a highly skilled scout who is a master at rope knots, problem solving and is heavily involved in community service. We have two great scouting groups in the electorate, Coomera Scouts located at Gawler Place Upper Coomera and Helensvale Scouts is located at Shepparton Rd Helensvale.

Very busy morning at the Northern Gold Coast Rotaract Community Cafe at the Oxenford Coomera Youth Community Centre. We needed a bigger order board! Thank you to everyone who dropped in and supported this wonderful community group.

$200 million would build critical infrastructure for the Northern Gold Coast. Infrastructure that we own! It would pay for the upgrading of Helensvale Road. Main Roads have predicted vehicle numbers will double on Helensvale Road after Coomera Connector is built.
