Each weekend I will be driving through our division to discuss concerns with locals and review projects and ongoing maintenance that had been put in place during my terms as councillor to see what work has been done and what needs to be done.

Today I started with a road trip through our hinterland regions. It was upsetting to see the hard work by the community groups and myself go to waste with no progression and neglect to our roads, small businesses and natural bushland.

My vision for the hinterland was to preserve the area through selective eco tourism organised by our locals and community groups which allowed our small communities to grow and flourish. 

Over the past couple of years I’ve watched the traffic issues around our division worsen. Along with the issue of hooning in particular through Bonogin, Numbinbah Valley and Highland Park it is clear we need a proactive councillor with the knowledge and determination to fix the issue.

Comment below any traffic issues you have around our division and let me solve them. Stay tuned for ‪#‎thefuturetuesday‬ for the solution to the Clover Hill School Traffic nightmare!

Honesty and integrity are important values to me so I wanted to address some things pertaining to the Mudgeeraba show.

It is with a heavy heart that I have heard hurtful rumours about me and the circumstances surrounding my standing down as the Society’s General Manager. I have heard that I was sacked and this is absolutely not true. I resigned from my position as a paid employee of the Society on 18 January following months of infighting and indecision by the current Management Committee. It was becoming unworkable and it was revealed that the bickering was Politically motivated. For the good of the Show and to help it re-build in time for the 2016 Show I felt it best for me to resign to allow a new Secretary Manager to be appointed.
