MP’s at Mango Hill Progress Association

Federal and State Members Luke Howarth and Reg Gulley addressed over 50 residents at the Mango Hill Progress Associations AGM last night.

Reg Gulley presented lifetime membership plaques each to Gail Christie and Bronwyn Ninness for their service over many years and wished farewell to Yvonne Mackenzie after 23 years of devoted service to the Mango Hill Progress Association.

Both Luke and Reg took questions from the audience and topics raised were issues such as the need for more Australia Post post boxes in North Lakes and a request for additional signage on the Bruce Highway southbound to include “Mango Hill”.  This will help southbound drivers not to miss the turn off to Mango Hill, which results in a journey all the way to Bald Hills before one can legally turn around and go back.  (14 km journey).

One local resident raised a large disparity in the speed of internet connections from house to house in the same street with some achieving above 5MBPS, with others such as himself unable to get more than 2MBPS regardless of numerous efforts with Telstra and to make matters worse, the new estate just meters away all have NBN connections.

It is certainly good to see the members attend community meetings as it provides them with real examples of community concern. Reg Gulley has already attended an number of Mango Hill Progress Association meetings this year and the Association also thanks Luke for his attendance last night.

Mango Hill Progress Association meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month at the Mango Hill Community Hall adjacent to Danzy Buchanan Park. For more information, please visit the Mango Hill Progress Association website.
