with Andrew Powell State Member for Glass House
And that’s a wrap on 2025 (almost!)
It’s been a busy month across the Glass House electorate: school award ceremonies, Maleny’s first-ever Farm Fest, Sculpture on the Edge, the combined Chamber of Commerce Christmas party, and my annual Volunteer Awards. Congratulations to all recipients – your hard work truly deserves the recognition.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a restful holiday season with loved ones! Drive safely, shop local, stay storm-aware – but most importantly, enjoy the season.My electorate office will be closed from Monday 22 December and reopens Monday 5 January 2026. Emails will be monitored, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance.
