New Pedestrian Bridge for Eumundi
I HAVE worked with locals to get the funding for the Seib Road Pedestrian Bridge since being elected. The 3-metre-wide bridge separates pedestrians from vehicles making a much safer link between Seib Road and Albert Street. Not only has it been one of my top priorities, but the Eumundi community has also been fighting for it for more than 20 years. Construction is expected to be completed in mid-2025. It is jointly funded by the Federal and State Governments, with Council leading the delivery of the project.
Community Wins

Parliament News
I am proud of the Crisafulli Government’s investment in the Queensland rapid response policing unit, with an integrated State Flying Squad of 58 specialist officers. In other news, the Crisafulli Government will deliver critical child safety reform with an Inquiry into the failed Blue Card Child Protection System, and good news for small businesses with the announcement that Queensland’s Chambers of Commerce will work with the Small Businesses Commissioner to reduce red tape to make it easier to operate a business.
