LNP Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has announced that an LNP Government will make an initial investment of $1.1 million to improve sections of the Brisbane Valley Highway.
Mrs Frecklington said Labor was not interested in investing in regional infrastructure and certainly not interested in investing in the roads, bridges and dams our state needed.
“Nanango residents have suffered from a lack of new infrastructure projects for too long under Annastacia Palaszczuk. Especially those who need to travel regularly on the Brisbane Valley Highway,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Under our former LNP Government, I secured funding for a new overtaking lane north of Toogoolawah, and in conjunction with then Ipswich West Member, Sean Choat, funding was
secured to upgrade a 2km stretch from Lloyds Road to the southern branch of Sandy Creek at Wanora, but since then, the Labor Government has ignored the Somerset region.
“Enough is enough – an LNP Government will invest $1.1 million to upgrade key sections of the Brisbane Valley Highway.
“We all know the Brisbane Valley Highway is important network road connecting regional areas to Brisbane, but it is in desperate need of a funding injection.
“By delivering this project, not only will we improve the roads Queenslanders need but we will create local jobs in the process.
“Instead of sitting around talking about building infrastructure like Annastacia Palaszczuk, the LNP has put its money where its mouth is and will actually deliver the roads, bridges and dams we need.”
Mrs Frecklington said a vote for anyone other than the LNP will see a return of a do-nothing Labor Government which has the wrong priorities and has taken the people of Nanango for granted.
“Upgrading Brisbane Valley Highway is all part of our Royalties for Regions program and our plan to Build a Better Queensland by Building a Better Nanango Electorate,” she said.
