Over the last few months I have received many requests for Council to put on free CPR and First Aid courses for the Chandler Ward community.
I’m pleased to announce that through my ward office, we will be funding a series of free CPR and First Aid courses for local residents.
Thank you to everyone for providing feedback on what you wanted to see in the Tillack Park, Mansfield playground upgrade.
Stage One works are now complete!
I know the local kids are already loving the new additions, especially the flying fox.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and I know Brisbane residents are feeling the pinch in their household budgets.
That is why the Schrinner Council’s 24/25 budget confirms our commitment to keep Brisbane moving while taking pressure off household rates and rents. The commitments we took to the election have been funded while still delivering a balanced Budget that maintains the cheapest residential rates in southeast Queensland and the most generous pensioner rate remission.
The plans are in, and they look great!
Thank you to all the local residents who completed my community survey at the end of last year.
Council’s parks design team have returned with an exciting new concept plan for the park.
After years of planning, the Aminya St Village Precinct Project is complete.
The project aims to enhance the visual amenity, public transport connections, and suburban safety of residents and visitors to the neighbourhood centre.
The Schrinner Council is creating more free fun in our suburbs with the completion of 3 new pickleball courts at Sheriff Park, Wakerley.
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in Brisbane at the moment and these courts have been popular since they opened only a month ago.
If you haven't played pickleball before and would like to try it out, my office has Pickleball equipment for hire. Contact my office for more information 3407 1400 or chandler.ward@bcc.qld.gov.au
The Schrinner Council is investing $10 million into the Safer School Precinct program to investigate and implement solutions around our schools.
Community consultation and initial design work for the first new Safer School Precincts will commence in the 24/25 financial year in Mansfield.
The project will encompass Mansfield State High School and Mansfield State School.
As Mansfield residents are aware, I have been advocating about traffic woes around the Mansfield schools since I became Councillor for Chandler Ward in 2019.
Despite my advocacy, I’ve had great difficulty with our State Government, which has been shifting the blame onto Council for issues in the road network caused by their rapid increase in school enrolments.
However, I did write to the State Transport Minister, Bart Mellish three months ago and asked if they would match the $2.5 million commitment, so we could deliver even more for the community with this project.
Just a few weeks ago, on the eve of the government going into caretaker mode, he said yes.
