On Friday 20 September I attended the official opening of the Crown Street Reserve Upgrade in Dover Gardens.  Prior to the rain setting in, it was exciting to see how well this upgrade has created a recreation space for everyone to enjoy. I feel extremely privileged to have helped deliver this project for our community.

On Friday 23 August, together with the Hon David Speirs MP, we had the pleasure of hosting over 200 members of our local communities to host another of our successful Seniors Forums. 

This morning marks a major win for our community, with funding announced for the grade separation of the Hove Railway Crossing at Brighton Road.  This is a giant step forward to fixing traffic congestion and improving safety along the Brighton Road Corridor.

I had the pleasure to meet with the Premier Steven Marshall MP, Minister for Transport, the Hon Stephen Knoll MP, the Hon David Speirs MP and Federal Member for Boothby Nicolle Flint MP this morning to announce that $171 million has been jointly secured by the Marshall and Morrison Governments.  

Tucked away in a back street of Brighton hides the home of the Brighton Districts Table Tennis Club.  Most people have probably walked past it without knowing, however the Club has been around since the mid-1950s and is still going strong. 

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.
