ANZAC Day is a time for us to reflect on and honour the sacrifices of those who have served, past and present.

Whether it's by attending a service, playing a game of Two-up, or watching the annual ANZAC Parade on the TV, I encourage you to take the time to commemorate in a way that is meaningful to you.

Thank you, Chandler! I am honoured to be re-elected as your local Councillor for the next four years. 💙

Tillack Park in Carindale is one of our most popular parks as it runs along the Bulimba Creek Bikeway.

Unfortunately, Council had to remove one of the playgrounds due to frequent damage from flooding.

I’m hearing that residents of Carindale are feeling increasingly unsafe in our community as crime rates rise.

In particular I’ve heard from many bus commuters that while they feel safe on the bus, as soon as they get off the bus to walk home, that level of safety drops.

I am pleased to unveil the plans for the Aminya Street Village Precinct Project in Mansfield.

We have been working with the local community to build and revitalise this precinct for a number of years now and the plans are coming to fruition.

I’ve been contacted by a number of local residents regarding the Greendale Village Shopping Centre development.

I can confirm the development application (DA) for the Greendale Village Shopping Centre has not lapsed and is still current.

I am sorry this news is probably a shock, as I previously advised the DA would lapse on 14 October 2023.

Unfortunately, storm season means a high level of rain, and increased chance of flash flooding, especially in a number of places in Chandler Ward that are low lying.

I have been able to secure, 3 new Automated Flood Road Warning Systems to be installed in Chandler Ward.

As Mackenzie and surrounding areas continue to grow, it is important to ensure that our parks continue to meet the recreational needs of residents.

Council conducted consultation with Mackenzie residents in late 2021 to help create a shared vision for Mt Petrie Rd Park that will provide a framework to guide the future of the park in keeping with the heritage of the area and the community values and needs.

The consultation saw 75 responses from the community that were received online and at the onsite information kiosk.
