Beenleigh Special School was a hive of athletic activity today at their Olympic sports day. Once again team Albert with a slight advantage in overwhelming numbers won the sports day. But team Logan can be proud, vastly outnumbered they held their own and won a lot of events. Go Albert! Now I'm off to buy a new sports day shield for the school, we have run out of room on the old one.

Great news for residents who regularly use Beaudesert-Beenleigh Road near Shaws Pocket. We have finally secured $958,000 in funding to "significantly improve the bend near Shaws Pocket at Rocky Creek" This will include raising the outer edge of the road to provide a turning bank to allow vehicles to manoeuvre through the curve more safely.

It is always a great pleasure to discuss local and small business issues with the Beenleigh Yatala Chamber of Commerce. We need to get behind our local small businesses and spend money locally, especially now when times are tough for them. They need your support!
