Carindale Recreation Reserve Masterplan- Survey
As one of the most popular parks in Chandler Ward, Carindale Recreation Reserve is a hub for locals to walk and run, play, cycle, socialise and kick a ball around. And as part of the Lord Mayor, Adrian Schrinner’s budget announcements this year I committed to consulting the community on upgrading this much-loved park.
This Masterplan will cover the entire park area

We Won! State finally comes to the table on Mansfield Safety Upgrades
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.

Tillack Park Playground Upgrades are Complete!
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.

2024/25 Council Budget: Chandler Overview
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.

New Pickleball Courts for Wakerley
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

Safer School Precinct Program for Mansfield
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.

Tilley Rd Bikeway Corridor Consultation & Study
As promised during the 2024 Council election, we have committed $108,000 for investigation, design and consultation to convert the existing Tilley Road road corridor into a 1.5km bikeway and park.

Carindale Recreation Reserve Upgrade
As one of the most popular parks in the Chandler Ward, Carindale Recreation Reserve is a hub for locals to ride their bikes, walk, play on the playground, or kick a ball around.
However, it’s starting to look tired and dated, having been last upgraded over a decade ago. That’s why we will conduct a community consultation on what you would like to see added or improved at Carindale Recreation Reserve.
ANZAC Day 2024
ANZAC Day is a time for us to reflect on and honour the sacrifices of those who have served, past and present.
Whether it's by attending a service, playing a game of Two-up, or watching the annual ANZAC Parade on the TV, I encourage you to take the time to commemorate in a way that is meaningful to you.

Thank you, Chandler!
Thank you, Chandler! I am honoured to be re-elected as your local Councillor for the next four years. 💙
New Playground unveiled for Tillack Park
Tillack Park in Carindale is one of our most popular parks as it runs along the Bulimba Creek Bikeway.
Unfortunately, Council had to remove one of the playgrounds due to frequent damage from flooding.

New lighting for Carindale commuter safety
I’m hearing that residents of Carindale are feeling increasingly unsafe in our community as crime rates rise.
In particular I’ve heard from many bus commuters that while they feel safe on the bus, as soon as they get off the bus to walk home, that level of safety drops.

Plans unveiled for Aminya St Village Precinct Project
I am pleased to unveil the plans for the Aminya Street Village Precinct Project in Mansfield.
We have been working with the local community to build and revitalise this precinct for a number of years now and the plans are coming to fruition.
Update - Greendale Village Shopping Centre
I’ve been contacted by a number of local residents regarding the Greendale Village Shopping Centre development.
I can confirm the development application (DA) for the Greendale Village Shopping Centre has not lapsed and is still current.
I am sorry this news is probably a shock, as I previously advised the DA would lapse on 14 October 2023.
