PROJECTS

The Upper Coomera Centre

Construction of the $30 million dollar Upper Coomera Centre corner Reserve & Abraham Roads is underway.  By this time next year we'll have our community centre, pool and library.

During construction my office will be at the Nerang Administration.   The white house is being demolished - but what a great venue it was for the 18 months where were able to meet and encourage mums in the area to join the playgroups and build friendships. The Oxenford Coomera Community Youth Centre, and the Coomera Neighbourhood Centre at Coomera Sports Park will fill the void until we have our beautiful new centre at the end of 2012.

Beattie Road House

Communities for Children continue to operate from the Beattie Road house (Coomera Neighbourhood Centre) and to coordinate various support groups on behalf of the Rotary Club of Coomera Valley. Coomera Valley Rotarians have been extremely active in the north in building relationships with residents and creating a strong sense of community and we are all grateful for their help.

The Pimpama Hall

Ormeau Lions continue to look after bookings for Pimpama Hall and have reinstated our monthly old time dances which are proving very popular.  Please contact me should you wish to make contact for a booking.

Ormeau Youth & Community Centre

Construction of Ormeau Youth and Community Centre will soon start.  This will be a welcome addition to public facilities at Norfolk Village providing a regional facility which will cater for a range of community activities including small and large meeting rooms, an arts shed and skills shed, combined children’s play area and parents’ meeting room, gym and dance facilities and youth games and breakout area. A very exciting project and one which we’re all keen to see happen as soon as possible.  The Material Change of Use has been approved and now Officers are working towards the issue of Tender documents.

Woongoolba Hall (Pimpama Island Community Centre)

This beautiful old hall has been transformed in the last year. The Division 1 Grants Officer assisted the Committee in attracting funding which has delivered great upgrades.  The play area has also been significantly improved with the addition of a couple of refurbished toys from the Council store. 

Peachey Community Garden

The Peachey Community Garden and its gardeners continue to thrive!  The initial individual beds have been removed and a new modified large veggie garden is proving a great success.  Better toilet facilities and amenities at the site, together with children's sandpit and shade makes this a great family hobby.  To join this enthusiastic group whose mission is to "to nurture creative community growth through learning, connecting, caring and sharing" please contact peacheycg@gmail.com
