I’d like to start by saying congratulations and thank-you to the team at The Aura Post for their initiative in bringing an Aura-centric newspaper to this community.
Were you one of the hundreds of locals that came out last month to the opening day for the wonderful new Aura Precinct with Police, Fire, and Ambulance?
It was an absolute blast with station tours, fire safety displays, free rides on the QFD cherry picker, CPR training with our Ambos, and more!!
It’s been a busy few months for me – you might have met me out doorknocking in Aura with my team chatting to folks about what matters to them and this community.
Over the past (almost) four years that I’ve been your representative, I’ve been doorknocking most weeks but with an election coming in October you’ll notice us ramping it up a little!
In 2020, you told me that you wanted to fast track the Bells Creek Arterial Road and that there was a need for a new Police Station for Aura.
Fast forward to now and both have been delivered, along with the Fire and Ambulance Station.
More recently, you told me that Aura needs more activities for our kids – which is why I have secured funding in this year’s budget for a huge PCYC to be built near the Aura Police station.
I’m very keen to hear what the community needs next – so next time you see myself and my team out, don’t forget to stop and have a chat.
