Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2024

Applications are now open for the 2024 YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament Program. This is a terrific opportunity for young local residents aged 15 to 25 years to build their leadership skills, learn first-hand about our democracy and Queensland’s parliamentary processes, and to have their say about the important issues facing our state. Applications will close at midnight, Friday 9 February 2024. For further information and to apply, please visit: www.ymcaqyp.org.au

Busy Community Roadside at Upper Coomera near the Upper Coomera Community Centre Reserve Road.

Thank you to all our volunteers for all their efforts. Today, crews from the Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade braved the heat to continue the clean-up.

Samaritan Purse volunteers have also worked long hours in the heat clearing debris around houses.

Some good news from Cr Donna Gates - the cycle and pedestrian improvements around Upper Coomera State College has been completed just in time for back to school Monday. #uppercoomera #cycle #WalkToSchool

I have had numerous enquiries from residents about their Essential Services Hardship grants and the Department of Communities requiring them to show proof they have lost power. These residents lost power for over a week. Some lost power for almost two weeks! Yet the Department is demanding proof.

🎉Congratulations Kevin and Pam on hitting the big milestone of 60 years of marriage. 👏 Thank you for the good chat. A beautiful life together.
