Tamborine Oxenford Road and Michigan Drive intersection were scheduled to start work in late 2023, yet no works have started. I have been chasing up the Department of Main Roads, asking why work hasn't begun. This week, we saw another accident at this location. Work needs to start at this intersection as soon as possible to make it safer for the 19,000 road users who use this section of road daily.

It's time for a “very warm/humid” Community Roadside at Upper Coomera. During my travels today, I caught up with Will, who runs The Village Grocer. He sells farm fresh produce from his front gate at 36 Tarata Road Guanaba. During the recent storm event, Will donated produce to all those who helped with the storm cleanup. Please keep supporting local businesses.

Thank you, Optus, for supporting The Meeting Place: Oxenford/Coomera Community Youth Centre Australia Day event. Also, a big shout out to the Northern Gold Coast Rotaract, Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade and Rotary Club of Coomera Valley for volunteering their time at today's event. It was super hot and humid! Tennis and Cricket on a big TV.

Congratulations to all the new Australians who pledged to become new Aussies today! Every year, the Lions Club of Helensvale hosts a citizenship ceremony at Helensvale to make this day memorable.

Finished the day with a community roadside at Studio Village Oxenford (Studio Drive).

Social / Games day at Helensvale Senior Citizen Hall every Thursday from 9 am at 37 Discovery Dr, Helensvale. Gerry, Ros, Shirley and Bob always give me an update on what is happening at the club and future projects
