Maudsland Road Intersection upgrade

This month I checked out the night works and met the team who have completed over 11,000 construction hours on the Maudsland Road intersection.

I promised you we would deliver this $5.6 million upgrade which is fully funded by the Palaszczuk Government and due to be completed very soon.

It will include:

• Installation of traffic signals with pedestrian crossings.

• Additional turning lane.

• Bus stop relocation with new footpath.

Thank you for your patience while we build a safer road network.

Gold Coast Manufacturing Hub

I caught up with the team to hear about the work they’ve been doing and their plan for the year ahead.

The hubs delivers targeted support and training, business development programs and awareness of advance manufacturing. Plus delivers a grants program for local manufacturers for a range of industries.

The Palaszczuk Government have grants available for eligible business, so if you’re interested in finding out more about the support available click the button below.

New units finished in Southport.

We officially opened this complex which will join our more than 5,100 social housing dwellings on the Gold Coast.

Since coming to Government the Palaszczuk Government has commenced construction on 5,000 homes.

That number will grow to 13,000 by 2027.

This is the largest single investment in social and affordable housing in the state’s history.

Because every Queenslander deserves a safe place to call home.

Skilling Queenslanders for Work

Gaining a qualification and protecting our environment.

That’s what this team are doing through the Palaszczuk Government’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work program.

I caught up team on the Gold Coast who have been doing work and gaining a certificate 1 in conservation and ecosystems management.

Skilling Queenslanders for Work has helped over 47,000 Queenslanders into jobs, and is the most successful program of its kind in the nation.

It has been one of the ways the Palaszczuk Government has delivered record low unemployment figures.

Link & Launch

Navigating options after school can be challenging.

Particularly if you don’t have any supports around you.

That’s why the work Amy is doing is so important.

Amy is a coordinator for Link and Launch, a program that helps young people navigate a range of post school options and connect with study, training, employment and other supports like housing.

It's a free service and you don’t need to be a former student of these high schools to be eligible. You just need to have finished Year 12 in the last 2 years to get involved.

The Palaszczuk Government has delivered this program to over 30 schools across Queensland to help young people take the next step after high school.
