Last year the State Labor Government kicked down the road plans for future improvements from Jimboomba to Cedar Vale and further south to Beaudesert on the Mount Lindesay Highway. It was a small amount of money for planning in the scheme of these sorts of works—a few million dollars only—but the Labor government cut it in last year’s budget.
That means it will be more years before projects on the Mount Lindesay Highway can be put on the agenda.
The Miles Government should be putting up money for these plans because, in reality, the only upgrades that have occurred to the Mount Lindesay Highway in recent years are because the federal LNP government put the money on the table, and they made that work a priority.
Together with my federal LNP colleague, Scott Buchholz MP, we will keep fighting for the Mount Lindesay Highway from north of Jimboomba all the way through to the New South Wales border.
