John Muntz Bridge, Upper Coomera (Coomera River) at 5pm. The water level has risen since midday.

Coomera River is raging under the John Muntz Bridge at Upper Coomera. 130 millimetres of rain in 3 hours.

As requested by local businesses in Oxenford, I asked Main Roads to clean the drain to the rear of their businesses to reduce the likelihood of flooding. After a quick door knock of businesses, it seems to be working very well.

Today Sid Cramp MP, Member for Gaven and I met with Senior Sergeant Chris Smith who is the new head of Road Policing in the Northern Gold Coast. It was great to hear Chris's vision and outline to tackle hooning and dangerous driving on our roads. We also spoke about the need to connect our communities through social media at the new North Gold Coast Crime Watch FB page.
