LNP will invest nearly $35 million into the Nanango Electorate for key infrastructure and services

LNP Nanango MP Deb Frecklington says a future LNP Government’s commitment to the entire Nanango Electorate totals $34,750,000 million.

Mrs Frecklington says if the LNP is elected to Government, the following projects will receive funding:

• $15 million to widen the single-lane section of the Mundubbera-Durong Road
• $5 million to realign and replace the single-lane Cooyar Bridge on the New England Highway
• $5 million to realign and replace the dangerous Running Creek Bridge near Woolooga
• $4.5 million to fix single-lane sections of the Kilkivan-Tansey Road
• $2.5 million to widen the southern single-lane section of the Byee Road
• $1.1 million towards sealing the Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road
• $1.1 million to fix key sections of the Brisbane Valley Highway
• $400,000 to establish a ‘South Burnett Clubhouse’ to help people struggling with illness reconnect with the community.
• $100,000 for cost benefit study for Mid-Brisbane River irrigators
• $50,000 for a portable ultrasound machine for the Emergency Department
• Commitment to help the Yarraman Mens Shed establish in the old DAF forestry shed

“On top of this, there is also $35 million to rebuild and realign the Boyne River Bridge on the Mundubbera-Durong Rd, and our commitment to deliver the brand new $62 million Kingaroy Hospital.

“And for the Somerset region, there is a $2 million commitment to rebuild Lowood Police Station and $1 million to support Lockyer irrigators develop a business case for a water pipeline to increase water security.

“This is a huge commitment to the people of the Nanango Electorate and if the LNP forms Government after this election, I will be so pleased to see these vital projects delivered,” Deb said.

Mrs Frecklington said Queenslanders could not afford another three years of Labor which have ignored the needs of regional Queenslanders over the past three years.

“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 the Nanango Electorate for granted,” she said.

“These projects are part of the LNP’s plan to Build a Better Queensland by building a better regional Queensland.”
