A new year has been hailed as a chance for new opportunities by Member for Burdekin Dale Last with goals to strengthen and support industries and communities within the electorate.
Marking his tenth year as Member for Burdekin Mr Last reaffirmed his focus remained on issues that mattered to residents in the Burdekin Electorate.
“As the member for Burdekin, my pride for the electorate is as strong as ever and my dedication to working for my electorate is unchanged,” Mr Last said.
“That pride and dedication is due to many things but mostly it is due to the people of the electorate. There is seldom a day goes by where I don’t learn of an achievement or challenge that a resident in the electorate has had to overcome.”
“For me, the next four years are about realising our potential and making our communities better places to live and work.”
Mr Last said while the Burdekin was not alone in its challenges it faced, the need for collaboration and recognition of opportunities within the region were unwavering.
“While we as a community have kicked some goals over the last four years, many of the challenges faced in the Burdekin electorate remain and some new ones have arisen which we cannot turn a blind eye to,” Mr Last said.
“Right now we are in the midst of a severe weather season and while we have in the past celebrated the improved flood immunity provided by the completion of the Haughton Floodplain project, the fight for better roads in this electorate continues.”
“The first step to bringing our highway up to standard when it comes to safety is already underway with the return of the Bruce Highway Advisory Council by the Crisafulli Government, however it is now up to the federal government to play its part by reinstating the 80:20 funding model.”
“Improving essential services and critical infrastructure like our roads, hospitals and schools are critical in attracting new families to our area, and I will never give up the fight to ensure our share of funding is secured for the north of the State."
