LNP Nanango MP Deb Frecklington has announced that an LNP Government will invest $4.5 million to widen and seal single-lane sections of the Kilkivan-Tansey Road
Mrs Frecklington said the funding for Kilkivan-Tansey Road is a key investment for the region and one which the community has been calling on for a long time.
“The Kilkivan-Tansey Road is a major connecting road between the Central/North Burnett and the coast,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“We must improve safety on this road, and upgrade it to become a realistic option for transport companies and primary producers who need to move stock and products. In its current state, it’s just too dangerous.
“This commitment by the LNP is part of our $60 million Beef Roads Program, which will see major upgrades to 10 regional road infrastructure projects across the state.
Mrs Frecklington said the LNP’s Buy Local policy would ensure local contractors and businesses which wanted to submit a tender to construct these projects did so with the confidence they were competing on a level playing field.
“Labor has failed to support Queensland small businesses, with countless examples of government contracts being awarded to interstate and overseas companies,” she said.
“Our comprehensive Buy Local policy would apply to our Beef Roads Program and we make no apologies for putting local businesses, contractors and jobs first.
“Labor have neglected our regions for far too long and taken Regional Queenslanders for granted.
“I am proud to be part of a team that will ensure Regional Queensland no longer miss out on its fair share.”
