There is no doubt that the new year has kicked off a little differently to how we had all hoped.
I spoke to many residents over the break who shared their stories of cancelled holiday plans and social gatherings put on hold.
Even if it was not all that you had planned, I hope many of you were able to slow down and recharge your batteries.
As we move into this new phase of ‘living with COVID’, we will continue to navigate new challenges while pressing forward with many long anticipated and exciting plans for the city.
Perhaps one of the most exciting, is the redevelopment of the Kingston Butter Factory, scheduled to open in early 2022.
We have transformed the city’s historic butter factory site into a world-class facility that will enable us to showcase vibrant arts and culture.

We’ll continue our commitment to delivering vital community infrastructure including the refurbishment of the Logan North pool and we will commence construction on two master-planned sport and recreation parks.
Rosia Park, Park Ridge covers 68 hectares of land and will include the first criterium track in the city and the first banked track of its kind in Australia.
Waterford West District Park, Waterford will commence construction later in the year and will include water play and adventure play areas, a wetland and amenities.
Both are designed to meet the future sport and recreation needs of some of our most rapidly growing communities.
These parks will join Council’s 958-stong park network, improving and delivering family-fun spaces that make a positive difference to our lifestyles and our city.
These are just a few of highlights and with my fellow councillors I’m excited about creating quality lifestyles for our residents.
