Mt Mee Roadworks Update

The Department of Transport and Main Roads have been undertaking reconstruction works along Mt Mee Road, near Duncan Road and Ocean View, throughout this year.  I am now pleased to announce the work, predominantly involving better stabilisation and pavement repairs, is scheduled for completion by the end of September.  Unfortunately, one lane will remain closed through the work sites while reconstruction remains underway. 

 

Four local RSLs will benefit from $125,000 of Commonwealth funding to support a number of local projects commemorating the 2015 ANZAC Centenary. 

Peter Dutton, Federal Member for Dickson, has said that this funding will allow the RSLs to carry out unique and thoughtful projects to honour the centenary of the ANZACs and ensure that their memory lives on in our community.

Water Forum

I recently held a forum for Pine Rivers residents and business owners about the rising costs of water. Minister for Energy and Water Supply, The Hon Mark McArdle, joined us to discuss some of the reforms our government is putting in place to ease the pain of water prices.  I understand the significance of this issue and how much water prices are impacting the majority of Pine Rivers residents and businesses.  

Families in Kallangur and Pine Rivers Electorates can feel safer and better protected with a dedicated helicopter for Brisbane commencing operations as part of the Government’s strong plan for a brighter future for communities across Queensland.

Member for Pine Rivers, Mr Seath Holswich, has called on Moreton Bay Regional Council to stop denying there is a problem with water debt and work with the State Government to fix the issue.

DAYBORO SHOW SUCCESS

To the enjoyment of the thousands of residents and visitors who attended 2014 Show, a respite from the less favourable conditions of the last two years was welcome and a great relief for the hard working Show committee and their volunteers.
