AN LNP government would deliver a new boat ramp and carpark at Shute Harbour if elected today (October 26) to improve access and safety for the Whitsundays boating community and visitors.
LNP MP for Whitsunday Amanda Camm said local boaties had been missing out for too long with second class infrastructure, despite having the highest boat registration per capita in Queensland.
“The LNP will restore a government that works for you, with the Right Plan for Queensland’s Future,” Ms Camm said.
“This $10 million investment in infrastructure is exactly what this community needs.
“Better boat ramps and more carparks mean improved safety for those using Shute Bay.
“The Labor Government had a chance to get it right after the Shute Harbour Boat ramp was damaged in Cyclone Debbie.
“Instead, what we saw was a government that refused to listen to the community and offer up a dangerous, substandard ramp.
“Well, the LNP and I have listened, and we know that we need better boat ramps and more carparks.
“If elected in October, we will commit $10m to a four-lane floating boat ramp with more than 130 trailable car parks,” Ms Camm said.
Mayor Ry Collins welcomed the announcement.
“Having these facilities in place will ensure we can grow as a region and that our boaties in the region will be served for years to come,” Mayor Collins said.
“The LNP are committed to delivering for our regional communities.”
Ms Camm said Queenslanders could vote for a new boat ramp and a government focused on delivering for regional Queensland, by voting LNP at this election.
“Our state needs a fresh start and only the LNP has the Right Plan for Queensland.”
