Cr Maria Suarez, Division 9

📍 What's being proposed in your neighbourhood?

One of the best ways to stay informed about changes in your local area is to keep an eye on development applications as they're lodged. Whether it's a new subdivision, commercial development, community facility or changes to an existing site.

To make it easier, Council has a list of "How to" videos, to learn how to use Developmenti 🎥 Watch them here https://youtu.be/vsVzdzvr7dA?si=2DuPjmTo30cOuVlR

It was a wet, muddy and joyous 1st year celebration of Coolum Eco parkrun!

Donella (flamingo) and Gerry (flat Grim Reaper) met with me (wet weather duck) well over a year ago to discuss starting a trail Park Run next to the Coolum Industrial Estate. Thanks to their persistence and diligence Coolum not only has a Park Run, but it’s always well attended, even when it’s muddy) and they are never short of volunteers!

A great community of people who are welcoming of all visitors. Was nice to spot Cr David Law in the running bunch!

Happy Birthday Coolum Eco ParkRun 🥳 🎂

❓ Did you know the Sunshine Coast's RideScore Active Schools program is the first of its kind in Australia? It encourages students to ride or scoot to and from school, rewarding them for making active and sustainable travel choices. 🚴‍♀️🛴💚 (Well done Colleen)

It has proven so successful that other Councils are rolling out RideScore in their regions to encourage active lifestyles, reduce school congestion, give parent's peace of mind and rewards students.

Speaking of rewards, congrats to all of the students who have won a trip to Australia Zoo!

Great work from all students and participating schools. Hope you've had fun and thank you for travelling so far on your own wheels and reducing carbon emissions. 👏

Congratulations to the Division 9 community groups that were successful in securing Minor Grant funding! 🎉
