I want to Support the Mudgeeraba Netball to be the biggest Facility on the Gold Coast to attract State level competition.

During my last term in council, I increased the size of the Mudgeeraba Netball cen tre by additional courts and lighting.

We also constructed the carpark to service netball and Baseball.
These two sports have grown in number and popularity.

We need to create a Master Plan for recreational uses in Council’s Open Space lands and the Government’s State Forests for Mountain Bike Riding and Horse Trails

* During my term, Council acquired vast areas of Open Space Land.
* These were purchased specifically to allow recreational activities in a controlled environment.
* The State Government converted many Forest sites into Recreation Reserves to allow similar Activities.
* Low impact activities like Mountain Bike riding, Walking Trails and Horse Trails were to be developed.
* The State Government commissioned a community consultation group to develop a Horse Trail Network.
* The Hinze Dam recreational plan contained provision for a Mountain Bike Park.
* Council’s Open Space and Greenheart Plans provided for these recreational activities.
* Under the LNP Government and current Council, nothing has been done.
* If planned correctly and properly maintained, these controlled activities will not be harmful to the environment and could in fact be beneficial to the estate management through increased activity and usage.
