Please take extra care around our schools. There will be many students excited to see their school friends. Plus we will have many nervous prep students, with parents close by. Please allow a little extra time when travel by our schools. Road safety is everyone’s responsible.

Thank you to everyone who supported The Helensvale Farmers Market this morning. These markets help many small businesses and is a major fundraiser for Helensvale State High School.

Community Roadside Friday at Oxenford near the John Muntz Bridge.

Up to a 30% increase in traffic volumes on Theodore electorate State roads.

Did you know there was a school located next to Tamborine Oxenford Road, opposite Pinewood Street Upper Coomera? The school was named Coomera Upper State School. It opened in 1877 and closed in 1964. Multiple diggers whose names are on our local cenotaph attended this school. Does anyone have any old photos of the school? Very little remains of the school apart from some concrete and old fences.
