On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I visited the North Brighton Community Garden for its Spring Open Day.

This wonderful community garden was the result of years of planning that led to securing a location at Bowker Oval in 2019.

With its upgrades starting in 2018, the new Marion Outdoor Pool is now ready for use, just in time for the upcoming summer.

It was a pleasure for me to attend the opening of the pool today on behalf of the State Government which contributed $150,000 to this $4.5m project.

It was a pleasure to join the students, families and teachers at Westminster School for the launch of its new sports pavilion today.

It was a nice surprise to bump into the former Governor of South Australia and Olympian, Ms Majorie Jackson-Nelson, who took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Despite the chilly weather, many people from our local community turned up to donate to a local food drive today.

Marion City Lions and MarionLIFE had organised this drive together to combat hunger.

Earlier this year, Lilly, a student at Darlington Primary School, wrote me a letter describing the weathered condition of her school's South Australian flag.

It was a pleasure to respond to Lilly's letter by visiting her school today to present a replacement.

Continuing my series of catch-ups at cafes in our community, today I joined local residents at the Lampshade Café in Somerton Park.

We chatted about issues ranging from local trees to how we can improve our education system.
