On Sunday our Ministers met with local residents and business owners to discuss a variety of issues. I was honoured to provide the opening speech and welcome all community members and Ministers.
On Monday we attended an International Women’s Day Breakfast followed by a very busy day of meeting with councillors to discuss key concerns in our region.
We attended a crime round table event which is another step in the right direction in our fight against crime.
Speaking of crime, I also attended the Crime for Justice Rally on Sunday. You can read my speech here.
There are a lot of great things happening in our region and the Crisafulli Government is committed to giving our region the support it needs.
The region will benefit from the re-established Bruce Highway Advisory Council which met in North Queensland in December, and from the Federal Government commitment to return to the long standing 80:20 funding split with the Queensland Government for the Bruce Highway.
The Crisafulli Government is focused on turning around the chaos and crisis left by Labor and is set to deliver key elections commitments to benefit the Cairns region, including a multi-million dollar performing arts centre at Whitfield State School, investment to expand the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre with a new centre on Green Island and investment in a satellite learning centre in Cairns to assist the next generation of TAFE teachers.
While it’s been a very busy start to the week, I look forward to actioning what we have discussed.
