Where Is The Funding For The Northern Beaches?

Shadow Treasurer David Janetzki visited Mackay’s Northern Beaches last week, meeting with Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm to discuss the lack of infrastructure funding for one of the state’s fastest-growing areas.

The claim was made in reference to the State Government’s recent budget announcement, where Mr Janetzki says there is only an allocation for planning of $300k this year and $300k in 2023-2024 for the area.

“The Northern Beaches is the fastest growing suburb in the Mackay Region,’ said Mr Janetzki.

“There is no capital infrastructure funding allocated in this Qld government budget’ and there is also no funding for Fire and Emergency Services.”

The Northern Beaches falls under Amanda Camm’s electorate of Whitsunday, with the local MP saying the funding allocation falls short in a fast-growing area.

“The Queensland Government’s decision to not allocate these funds to the Northern Beaches, one of the fastest growing suburbs in the Mackay region, is a serious oversight and is not taking into consideration future growth of my community,” said Ms Camm.
