He didn't just give us the gift of Eternal life, He gave us so much more. The new testament is full of the miracles, goodness, love, and compassion we can access and pour out upon others because of Jesus!

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Innisfail's Driver Reviver to trial at a new location IGGULDENS

Cassowary Coast Regional Council

AFTER the program closed state-wide earlier this year, the Driver Reviver in Innisfail will trial at a new location in The Con Theatre.

In January, the Driver Reviver located at Fred Drew Rest area, located north of Innisfail, closed along with 22 other sites across Queensland.

The Driver Reviver, currently led by the Queensland Police Service (QPS), in partnership with local volunteers, including the Lions Club of Innisfail Lioness, is a necessary service to travellers passing through the town.

This program and partnership between QPS and local community groups combat one of the fatal fivedriver fatigue.

Upon hearing about the site's closure, local community groups reached out to Council to see if they could find any practical solutions.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council has agreed for the Innisfail Driver Reviver to run out of The Con Theatre for the Easter school holiday period as a short-term solution and trial.

Member for Hill Shane Knuth stated he was overly concerned when the State Government announced the closure of Driver Revivers in the Hill Electorate and across Queensland.

He was in the process of launching a petition to save these Driver Revivers as they are a safe place for drivers to pull over, prevent fatigue and save lives.

CCRC, QPS, and local community groups' solution was to trial Driver Reviver at The Con, which is a win-win for the community and all road users.
