Your CanDo representatives for the Gold Coast region are:
Candidate for the State Seat of Southport Rob Molhoek, together with LNP's Shadow Minister for Main Roads, Fisheries and Marine Infrastructure Mark Robinson yesterday headed to Guardian Angels Primary School to discuss the ongoing issues surrounding Edmund Rice Drive.
Following the rapid expansion of Griffith University without any increased car parking facilities, Edmund Rice Drive has unfortunately transformed from a quiet street to a parking mecca threatening the safety of school students.
Member for Currumbin Jann Stuckey MP today invited the LNP's Shadow Minister for Main Roads, Fisheries and Marine Infrastructure to see first hand the worsening situation at the Currumbin Creek bar.
"While the State Government continues its campaign of neglect over the Currumbin bar, the LNP have shown they are prepared to listen to key stakeholders," Ms Stuckey said.
Jann Stuckey MP, Member for Currumbin, is encouraging Currumbin residents to have their say on a long-awaited report into options to restore Kirra Beach.
"A feasibility study was announced in July 2009 to investigate four options to improve the current sand build-up at Kirra and long-term operation of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP)," Ms Stuckey said.
Member for Mudgeeraba, Ros Bates MP, is reminding pool owners to make sure their swimming pool is registered before the Bligh Government deadline - Friday 4 November 2011.
"If pool owners don't register online before 4 November, they can face a fine of up to $2,000," said Ms Bates.
Bligh Labor was hell-bent on hitting small business with a 'scrooge tax' before Christmas – dressed-up as a waste reduction levy.
LNP Shadow Small Business Minister Jann Stuckey said Labor's waste levy would hit small businesses for six while doing nothing to reduce the amount of landfill waste in Queensland.
Jann Stuckey MP, Member for Currumbin, has paid her respects to police who died in the line of duty at the National Police Remembrance Day ceremony at Coolangatta today.
"National Police Remembrance Day is such an important event on the police calendar each year and one that I am always humbled to be a part of.
"The story on the front page of today's Gold Coast Bulletin is further indication of just how tired this Labor government is," said Michael Hart, LNP Candidate for Burleigh.
"Christine Smith and Anna Bligh's Labor government continue to be more concerned with staying in power, than they are with delivering for locals," Mr Hart said.
Member for Currumbin, Jann Stuckey MP is urging local residents to view the Gold Coast Airport's draft Master Plan which is available for public consultation.
"The airport is a critical part of the economy on the southern Gold Coast and the city as a whole," Ms Stuckey said.
Jann Stuckey, Member for Currumbin, stood up for the victims of recent armed robberies across the Gold Coast during debate on the Bligh Government's Weapons Amendment Bill in state Parliament this week.
The Weapons Amendment Bill proposed changes to definitions of certain weapons and increased penalties for misuse of weapons, but its main target is law-abiding licensed shooters, not criminals using illegal firearms.
