21.01.2022 In Labrador we have been requesting shade trees for many years. One year we hit the jackpot (pffft) on the western side of Robert st. Total of 3 trees! Whooo!... We got 2 tiny saplings (almost dead) in front of one house and a whole lot of excuses why we didn’t get more. Why are we always short changed? Don’t we pay our rates too? Email your councillor if you want more trees in your street. Paradise point are getting them. 41 in one street. Granted it’s a big street. PS The Councillor in the picture is Cameron Caldwell head of planning this is the man we have to convince not to destroy our suburbs with poor development outcomes that have been secretly planned for years. We do this by emailing and contacting our new councillors, Division 6 Brooke Patterson and Division 7 councillor Ryan Bayldon-Lumsden. Good luck with that. Best to do it ASAP as I feel the New City Plan will be brought in quickly and possibly covertly and we will all be disappointed and upset at what will be forced upon us. Tell your friends and neighbours about this group. Be vigilant and pro active if you want the best outcomes for your Home , street and community.

18.01.2022 I’ve seen no evidence of reform across the entire tourism sector in Queensland or any new ideas or proposals for a sustainable business model that lessens the burden on taxpayers and provides the tourism sector with a sustainable business model.

18.01.2022 Everyone needs to see this. I report back to you something that almost no tourists get to see here in Singapore. Because not many people wanna visit or get per...mission to visit a landfill.... But here, you might wanna do that. Their landfills almost feel like resorts. They are just insanely clean. Here is how they did it: They made an Island in the middle of the ocean, they enclosed a big pool of ocean water by dumping sand all around it. On the maind island, they burn their trash, filter the smoke for any pollutants, they ship the ashes to this Island and bury them under these waters. All while keeping everything clean. Literally 30 meters outside of the landfills, there is a fish farm and it's completely 100% safe! Around the Island, there is wildlife, birds, animals, beaches, you name it. It just so happens to have tons of ashes buried underwater right next to it. Obviously this is more expensive way to treat waste. But boy, it blew my mind and I hope you like it!! INSTAGRAM: @nasdaily GROUP: Nas Daily Global Without Tan Hang Chong & Hilly Ting this wouldn't be possible. You rock!! Thank you for contacting National Environment Agency (NEA). And thank you NEA for responding!

11.01.2022 If you had any doubt about the current Div 2 Councillor WOJ taking Developers funding check this declaration out!

08.01.2022 First Day at Pre-Poll at the 56 Siganto Dr Oxenford and the Helensvale Community Hall off Discovery Dr. John’s set up early and ready to represent the people by putting the Community first at the forefront of his campaign. He has a proven track record on the big ticket items he achieved in 2008-2012 for his community.... He’s completely self funded, reliable, independent with a common sense approach. This election you have a real choice in Division 2, but don’t forget there has been some major boundary changes in the March 2020 elections. Avoid Election Day crowds and vote early from 9am to 5 pm this week and next week the hours will be extended. Vote 1 John Wayne your next Div. 2 Councillor it will be good to have you back! #BringBackJohnWayneDiv2

07.01.2022 Gold Coast City Council Elections John Wayne Division 2 Candidate - 2020 and experienced former Councillor for Division 2 (2008 - 2012) I first met John Way...ne in 2003 during Gold Coast Community meetings regarding the proposal by the Beattie-Bligh State Government to build a cruise ship port in the Seaway and to annex large tracts of Doug Jennings Park for private and commercial developments. John was instrumental in the formation of the community action group, Save Our Spit Alliance Inc. (SOSA). He has maintained his support for SOSA over the past 17 years. Using his professional graphic-art skills, John was also the catalyst behind the classic SOSA bumper sticker and T-shirts that are worn as a badge of honour by Save Our Spit supporters following the cancellation of the Beattie/Bligh cruise terminal proposal in late-2006 on environmental, navigational-safety and economic grounds. During the 2003-2007 SOSA campaigns, we held many public information sessions and rallies at The Spit. We gained national TV news coverage for a stunt John was involved in which drew upon his expertise as a qualified diver. John, who dressed as Deputy Premier Anna Bligh and another diver playing Premier Beattie, were forced by the community to walk the plank off a boat anchored in the Seaway. If ‘Bligh and Beattie’ floated back to the surface then their cruise terminal proposal was a goer. If Beattie and Bligh did not return to the surface then their cruise ship proposal had also sunk. Watch the video footage below of the stunt and the outcome on the following link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lir8gsR5MOg&feature=emb_logo John of course had an air-tank awaiting him on the Seaway floor in the capable hands of GC diver, Ian Banks. And so Bligh (and Beattie) literally sank along with their cruise terminal plans. In 2008, John was elected to the Gold Coast City Council as a hands-on, truly Independent Councillor. From 2008 - 2012, John achieved many positive outcomes for his community in Division 2, including the areas of Helensvale, Oxenford, Monterey Keys, Studio Village and Upper Coomera. John secured the Helensvale Library; new open space acquisitions, skate parks, half pipe, outdoor gyms; the master planning Damien Leeding Park and Rowing Lake; and successfully lobbied State Government to deliver the long awaited Seaway Access Steps on the southern Seaway Wall. As part of Cr Peter Young’s Sustainable City Futures Committee, John helped develop concepts and strategies like the Green Heart, Tides of Change, Bushfire Management Plan, Koala Conservation Strategy and set a number of green targets for 2020. John’s vision and forward plans for the Division 2 had projected and fully budgeted the run-out of much needed infrastructure and improvements across the area, bike ways, footpaths, park upgrades, shade sails, even new parks with boat ramps, tennis courts, skate parks and new Men’s Sheds. In 2012, the LNP (led by local Federal MP Stuart Robert) deliberately targeted John Wayne in an attempt to take-over his Division 2 with a candidate who was an LNP member. The support provided to the LNP chosen candidate and the donations provided by the development industry resulted in our Independent Councillor, John Wayne, being defeated by the LNP ‘machine’ after only one term in Council. However, John has returned to run against the LNP incumbent in Division 2 and we encourage those living in Division 2 to get in touch with John to see how they may assist his campaign to return to Council and bring back public and open dialogue, reduce the number of secret closed door meetings and break the strangle hold the LNP based voting ‘bloc’ have under the current Tate 8 Council. John is up for the challenge of combating a City Plan that favours massive infill developments with the loss of public amenity, parks and residential estates like in leafy green Oxenford and the equestrian pocket (around the old pony club) that are now caught in a new ‘future development investigation area’ targeted for major unit and townhouse developments. John is horrified that if successful, this type of high density development will be code assessable and the public will have no opportunity to submit their objections. If you can provide any support and assistance for John’s campaign to return honesty and transparency to Council and to advocate for the best interests of the residents in Division 2, rather than the interests of developers and political party agendas, please contact John Wayne immediately at: Mob: 0416 027 919 [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/johnwaynedivision2/

07.01.2022 Here’s the 6 pages of the 31 page presentation of our cities Green Heart. The real plan was presented to Council in Nov 2008 with a 2020 carbon neutral target set! So Council where are we at with the 2020 Target??

02.01.2022 What a dreadful and unprofessional way to manage his campaign. He should be ashamed of himself. This is in such poor form. As with everything this Councillor st...ands for poor Allan was paid off, even if it was just a cap to add to his collection. Perhaps if Mr Owen-Jones is spending so much time in the library, he might benefit from reading one of the most influential books of all time - How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie.

01.01.2022 Hi everyone Many friends, business friends and former residents of mine who supported me for eight years and more have been asking me who would they vote for th...e new Div 2 and for Mayor. Firstly we need to bring back former councillor John Wayne. John served with me in 2008-2012. He did more in his four years than this current lot have in 8 years. John has announced the wish list attached for the new areas of Hope Island, much of which you all helped me fight for in our Vision for the Division Panel. For Mayor, I can only suggest one standout candidate in Mona Hecke, although some others have good intentions. Voting is till 9pm tonight Wednesday and tomorrow Thursday and 9am till 6pm Friday and Saturday and Election Day. Pre-poll can be found at 54 Siganto Dr Oxenford and at the Helensvale Community Centre. Be safe everyone in these uncertain times! Best wishes #BringBackJohnWayneDiv2
