Glenn TOZER for Mudgeeraba & Hinterland (Division 9)

Glenn TOZER for Mudgeeraba & Hinterland (Division 9) Serving the southwest hinterland (Div9) at the City of Gold Coast council since 2012. Chair of Lifestyle, Environment, Heritage & Resilience (LEHR) committee.

Election material is auth'd by Glenn Tozer, PO Box 625, Mudgeeraba for Glenn Tozer (candidate) Welcome to the new likers to my page. I hope you find the below helpful as you work out the best way to engage on the page. Most of my posts relate to the Gold Coast, and in particular Division 9 which includes the suburbs of Mudgeeraba, Worongary, Tallai, Bonogin, Reedy Creek, Gilston, Lower Beechmont, Austinville, Advancetown, Neranwood, Springbrook, Numinbah Valley and Natural Bridge. There's about 30,000 voters in our area and around 43,000 residents. It’s not an official Council-run page, but all activity here is governed under relevant Codes of Conduct and Acts of Parliament. Accordingly, you can expect if you raise a Council issue, I may capture that as a public record and process it through the proper channels. Alternatively, I may refer a person to that themselves. I have a no deletion policy, with only a few exceptions (profanity, lewdness, spamming or leveraging the page for private lobbying, threats of legal/regulatory action, allegations of corruption). Even when we disagree you can expect I'll engage. There's a chance we'll get on fine if you argue with respect and good manners. What I'm trying to achieve here is a community of people who can share amongst their own Facebook families, the events and activities of our great city and the little area I look after. I like to share good news stories, topical issues, and keep people informed about what your elected representatives are doing each week and what's going on in our area. A community like this doesn't work without you engaging so get involved, seek out those stories form the groups you're a part of and post here to keep me and the rest of the community updated. If a post, by my assessment, seems to contravene this intent I might warn a Facebook user and depending how they respond I might choose to refer them to other methods to offer their view (such as email, phone or letters). We've got heaps to be proud of in Division 9 and across the Gold Coast and hopefully this page can be one part of promoting our best efforts to the community and to the world. Please note: we do our best to moderate this page according to standards of best practice recommended by the Office of the Independent Assessor and the LGAQ – www.lgaq.asn.au/socialcommunityguidelines or https://www.oia.qld.gov.au/understanding-complaints

The City of Gold Coast is developing a Walking Network Plan (WNP) for Mudgeeraba to create a safer, more accessible, and better‑connected network of walking and riding routes throughout the area. Your feedback has been instrumental in helping improve local paths, crossings, and links between key destinations so walking and active travel become easier, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone.

The Mudgeeraba WNP focuses on:

- connecting key community and recreation areas in the study area shown in the maps
- improving pedestrian safety: Identifying unsafe crossings, areas with high vehicle speeds, and places where safer pedestrian and school‑related routes are needed
- enhancing everyday walking and riding: Looking at missing footpaths and shared paths, shaded routes, lighting, accessibility improvements and more comfortable connections throughout the suburb
- supporting an active, healthy neighbourhood: Creating routes that encourage walking, jogging, riding, and general outdoor activity, and strengthening links to recreation, shops, parks, schools, and transport.

Bit of flying this week (spoke at a conference in Cairns) and this book by Alan Kohler was excellent. Recommended reading.

Thanks to William Owen-Jones, Gold Coast for the loan.

Has anyone else read it? If so, what did you think?

Today we remembered the inimitable Joan Rudd, just short of one year after her passing, with the dedication of a rose garden at GC Hinterland Heritage Museum Inc.

Joan was a wonderful community contributor over many years, even since her childhood and early adult years when she was named Miss Hinterland. In the year she passed she had been President of the museum and instrumental in helping it become the important asset it is to our community.

This morning I was asked to say a few words at the garden dedication and reflected on her community leadership and volunteering but also on her love and teamwork with her husband Jack, with whom she recorded a series of videos some years ago, generously telling stories of yesteryear in the earlier days of Mudgeeraba and Nerang developing as part of the Gold Coast.

The Gold Coast MG Car Club have been provided a community grant for the project to build a new members shed, at Frank Chaston Oval in Gilston.

Construction will begin very soon and we were invited out to take a look at the site, and turn a sod (very loosely, given it's mostly asphalt currently).

Well done to the committee and project team, and I'm looking forward to visiting again when it's all ready to welcome guests.
