Over the weekend we had an exciting announcement from the Federal Member for Boothby, Nicolle Flint MP, that her and the Federal Government will deliver the much-needed second stage of the upgrade to the Brighton Sports Complex. 

I was excited to join Minister Gardner at Brighton Secondary School for the announcement of $13.8 million funding for the school as part of the Marshall Government’s multi-million dollar investment in Education.

The 12th annual Brighton Jetty Sculptures exhibition is a major fundraiser for the Brighton Surf Life Saving Club and a premier art event showcasing more than 200 sculptures. 90 of these are situated on the foreshore and in a marquee on Bindarra Reserve.

At the last election I made several key commitments to the electorate of Gibson.

I am proud to say that the following election promises have been delivered for our local community:

• Bowker Street
• Hamilton Reserve
• Crown Street

I recently held the Wingard Winter Warmer fundraiser at Patritti Wines. As well as a chance to present the 2018 Community Recognition Awards, we were also able to raise funds for Pancare Australia and Operation Flinders.

It was great to meet with City of Marion CEO Adrian Skull recently to hand him a cheque to fund the upgrade the Crown Street Reserve at Dover Gardens. 

Despite the cloudy sky, the rain held off today whilst volunteers from the Rotary Club of Somerton Park, the City of Holdfast Bay and the local community set about putting the finishing touches to the new undercover BBQ facilities and landscaping at the Brighton Pump Track.

You may have seen recently that the South Australian Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission has recast the boundaries for the 2018 state election. 

With the run of hot weather we’ve been having please make sure you look out for your neighbours, family and friends - especially the elderly or unwell. 

After nearly two decades the future of the Vietnam Veterans is uncertain with the State Government set to demolish the current club rooms in Warradale as part of the Oaklands Crossing upgrade.
