Thank you for taking the time to visit.
Since being elected as your State Government representative in February 2004 I have worked hard to make sure our community is included in thorough consultation on local issues and that residents’ views are heard.Together we have achieved much in the Currumbin electorate, an exquisitely beautiful area and one dealing with the pressures of rapid population growth.
After years of lobbying the State Government, sand excavation at Kirra has taken place but no long term strategies have been determined.
The Billion dollar Tugun Desalination plant which was due to open in November 2008 has suffered a series of setbacks including faulty parts and is still not fully operational.
I have tabled two petitions containing over 6500 signatures in State Parliament calling for proposed overhead power-lines along the alignment of the Pacific Motorway from Mudgeeraba to Tugun to go underground. It would appear that we have had some success in achieving this goal.
A Community Reference Group met in December 2009 to discuss a redesigned route. By mid 2010 Energex will release a new IAR (Impact Assessment Report) for community consultation.
The Cobaki Development and the extra traffic it may impose on the residents of Tugun is a grave concern and one that I am keeping a watchful eye on. It is imperative a copy of the plans are placed on display in Tugun.
Multi-million dollar roadworks at the Tugun intersection on Gold Coast Highway will start soon. Stewart Road will now be called Tugun-Currumbin Road.
As other issues emerge I shall use this website as a bulletin to inform residents and to communicate and developments relating to our electorate.
I hope you find this site useful as a means of acquiring information and will make the most of the opportunity to express your opinions and concerns.
Kind regards
