An update from Division 1 Councillor, Jenny Broderick.
Hello Division 1!
This year is absolutely flying by, and it’s been a privilege to catch up with so many of you over the last months, hear your concerns and work with you to continue to make our incredible region the best it can be.
I love where we live!
If you aren’t already, be sure to follow our socials to keep up to date with what’s happening in Division 1.
Send a message, email, call and catch me at any of our Councillor in the Community days.
Find all the details on my Facebook page.
The new SCC App is here!
We are very excited to launch the new SCC App!
Snap a photo, send in a service request, whether it be potholes, graffiti, trees, weeds – whatever it is, you can let us know about it through the app.
It will GPS locate where you take the photo, and you can track the progress of the request.
You can also get bin day reminders (and which bins you need to put out), find walking tracks with Adventure Sunshine Coast, access Disaster Hub during weather events and road closures, and so much more.
The app is continually evolving, so there’s a link in there for feedback so you can let the team know what else you would like to see in the app.
Download it today from the App or Google store on your device.
Calling on young changemakers!
If you are aged between 16 – 24, the Young Leaders Academy is a voluntary program where up-and-coming community champions meet once a month to learn more about leadership and how they can contribute to sustainable and positive change in their communities, including to help shape Council’s new ‘Youth Action Plan’.
If you’re up for the challenge, check out Council’s ‘Have your Say’ website for all the details and to apply by 4 November.
Thank you for your patience
Work continues on Graf Drive and Aura Blvd, Baringa.
The road between Aura Business Park and Corbould Park is also underway.
These upgrades will go a long way toward helping ease the traffic congestion around that area.
Council and Stockland have also been working for many months on the lights sequencing to make it most effective for traffic flow.
It is a work in progress, so thank you for your patience.
You can check out all of the Stockland construction updates here on the Stockland Aura Construction Update webpage.
Designs have also started for pedestrian safety solutions for Bellvista Blvd.
Council has applied for Blackspot funding for this road.
Whilst we won’t know if we are successful for the funding until next year, the team are continuing to detail design for this road.
Thanks for the feedback
Community consultation on the Skate Park in Little Mountain and the Dog off lead area in Bellvista has now closed.
Thank you so much for all of the responses.
We will be sure to keep you up to date on the outcomes.
I look forward to catching up with you soon, Jenny.
