IT WAS an honour to attend the Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten’s 40th Anniversary, a magical not-for-profit that started back in 1976 by playgroup parents. A big thank you to all for the incredible work you all do with our youngest Noosans, including Carmel Desjardins, teacher, and director, who has been at the Kindy since 1988!
Even though I could not attend the official opening of the new Peregian Beach Community House due to being in Parliament, my ‘head on a stick’ was thrilled to see the end result of a long journey that started back when I was a Councillor, attending those sessions where residents drafted their visions. Congratulations everyone, you did it!!

In amongst so much funding being awarded to our community in the latest round of Community Benefit Grants, it is important to start getting applications ready for the next Super Round of up to $100k, opening mid-January.
