Yaroomba Pathway Upgrade
AS A YAROOMBA local, I have often seen school children and families with prams walking on the road along Bimini Drive as the pathway stops at Yungar Street. I’m pleased that on September 30, construction will start on a new 1.8-metre-wide pathway stretching 200 metres along Bimini Drive to Jenyor Street. Eleven metres of existing pathway will also be renewed. I’m proud to be delivering on one of my core election promises, to improve pathway connectivity in our community.
Eliza Peatling Park
A new barbecue has been finished at popular Eliza Peatling Park at Pacific Paradise. The upgrade has come just in time for Spring, and I’m looking forward to seeing it put to good use as the weather warms up.
Welcome home
Let’s give our returning Olympic and Paralympic athletes a welcome home to remember! Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Council are proudly hosting the region’s official welcome home celebration for our athletes on Tuesday, September 17, from 10:30 am to 1 pm at Foundation Square Park, Maroochydore.
I encourage you to join the celebration, cheer on our athletes as they arrive, then watch as they take to the stage. Everyone will then have the chance to meet and greet their local heroes and enjoy a free barbecue thanks to the Mooloolaba Lions Club.
