Sincere Thanks
THANK-YOU to the community of Division 9 for showing support for my re-election. I’m grateful and thankful for the hours of support from my family, friends, mentors and volunteers – I wouldn’t be here without it.
During the campaign, it was lovely to chat to residents again who I had been in contact with before and to meet other people for the first time. It’s not easy to put your hand up to be elected and I’d like to acknowledge the other candidates for doing so as it meant our community had a democratic choice.
I am also humbled to have support from my fellow councillors to fill the role as Deputy Mayor. I look forward to seizing the opportunities and tackling the challenges over the next four years as I continue to represent and work on projects that are important to the residents of Division 9.
Other local updates
Work on the amenity block at Jack Morgan Park should be complete by the end of May. It’ll make a big difference to people enjoying all the park has to offer. You’ll also notice work start at the Lions and Norrie Job park in the next few months to deliver on the masterplan upgrades.
I was dismayed to learn about the damage to vegetation at Coolum recently. Thank-you to those residents who reported this to council as without their information, it is often difficult to find the culprits and prosecute them, which in turn deters others from carrying out environmental vandalism. If you notice suspicious vegetation damage occurring in Council-managed reserves or parks, please contact Council’s customer services on 5475 7272.
