As we step into the final month of 2025, it’s heartening to witness the significant updates underway across Queensland.
These updates are not just changes, but they are making a tangible difference for local families here in Pumicestone.
Community safety is something we all care about, and it’s encouraging to see early positive signs in recent crime data, showing a reduction in victim numbers across the state.
More officers are now supporting frontline policing, helping to keep our neighbourhoods safe and responsive.
I have also spoken to many of you about my campaign to protect our community from hoons.
It’s inspiring to see how residents in Pumicestone have taken the lead in this, telling me how ongoing hooning is putting lives at risk, disturbing the peace, and damaging our streets.
If you have information and would like to join our community campaign, please contact my office or sign the petition on my website.
Access to healthcare is also improving, with elective surgery waitlists beginning to ease and ongoing work to reduce ambulance delays.
As more people choose to call our region home, increasing housing supply remains a priority.
The ongoing housing development efforts, are not just creating additional homes but also fostering long-term community growth, giving us all a reason to be optimistic.
A reminder that applications have also now opened for $5,000 Women’s Career Grants to help reduce the cost of returning to work.
These grants can be used for workwear, childcare, training, recertification, relocation, tools, or technology, and practical support to help women re-enter the workforce.
If you would like more information on this grant, including how to apply, please get in touch with my office.
