LNP Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington would fight to upgrade several key roads across the region if the LNP wins the next state election.
Ms Frecklington said urgent upgrades were needed to Kilkivan-Tansey Rd, Byee Rd, Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Rd and the Mundubbera-Durong Rd.
“These are important connecting roads have been neglected by Labor for far too long,” Ms Frecklington said.
“The Kilkivan-Tansey Rd is a major connecting road between the Central and North Burnett and the coast and locals know how terrible sections of this road have become.
“In fact many often choose to take an alternative route rather than risk travelling on this road.
“The Byee Rd is in the same condition. While a short section in the middle has been fixed, the remainder of the single-lane sections need to be widened.
“This road connects the South, Central and North Burnett, and is used by many families to get their kids to Wheatlands State School.
“I have also been fighting for the final section of Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Rd to be sealed, to improve the main connector to the popular Bunya Mountains.
“I’ll also want to see funding for the Mundubbera-Durong Rd to widen an 11km single-lane section which is critical for the economic prosperity of our region, in particular for primary producers and transport companies.
“Labor has neglected and ignored regional Queensland for too long. Only an LNP Government has an economic plan to supercharge Queensland’s economy to lead Queensland out of recession and create a decade of secure jobs.”
