Point Arkwright reseal
AFTER many years, Bertya Place in Point Arkwright has finally been resealed. During the election, I doorknocked residents in this small street who said they felt like this area had been neglected and said their road was an example of this. In less than three months of being our local Councillor, I’ve worked with our fantastic Council staff to get this project delivered.
Coolum Beach Playground Shade Sail
It’s great to see the installation of shade sails over the playground at Magenta Drive, Coolum Beach. This new addition is vital in providing much-needed UV protection for our little ones and will allow families to enjoy the park safely, all year round. The sails are being manufactured and will be installed by the end of the month. The colour will be the closest the manufacturer can get to Magenta – Royal Purple!
New recycle bins
I’m very happy to see 25 new recycling bins being delivered in public spaces across Division 8, including Geeribach Lane and Birrahl Park in Yaroomba, Twin Waters boat ramp, and various other locations in Mudjimba, Marcoola and Pacific Paradise. This is something I was very supportive of in my campaign, and it’s good to see the yellow bins being rolled out. Just remember, no coffee cups please.
Marcoola dog park
Keith Royal Drive Dog Park in Marcoola will soon receive two new seats with areas of the ground also being re-turfed (once it warms up a little).
Upcoming budget
Council handed down its budget for 2024-25 on June 20, which included a valuable combination of projects for Division 8. I look forward to sharing more details and our local wins in my next column.
