𝐌𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 👨‍🚒 gave opportunity to give gratitude 🙏 To all who led and assisted efforts during Alfred, and now in the aftermath. These included our Noosa LDMG members, the District Disaster Management Group and the State Emergency Co-ordination Centre, our incredible volunteers in the Noosa Unit - Queensland State Emergency Service, RFBAQ - Rural Fire Brigades Association Queensland Inc, and Tewantin Noosa Lions Club,👨‍👩‍👧‍👦and so many more! 🙏🙏 Most of all to fellow Noosans for your compassion for others, strength when facing another disaster, and keeping yourself and others safe by being prepared. ♥With every natural disaster we learn more 👨‍🏫 and Alfred demonstrated how good our systems are, where we can improve, and how frustrating it can be when a cyclone ‘wobbles’ and ‘pirouettes’ 🙄 Read my speech at documents.parliament.qld.gov.au/speeches/spk2025/Sandy_Bolton-Noosa-20250314-709439142398.pdf Noosa Council, Frank Wilkie, Noosa Shire Councillor, CR Jess Phillips, Queensland Fire Department, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), Ramsay Health Care, Queensland National Parks, Energex, Surf Life Saving Queensland, Telstra, Unitywater, Australian Red Cross, Bureau of Meteorology, Transport and Main Roads Queensland, Queensland Health, Translink ...

𝟐𝟎𝟑𝟐 𝐎𝐋𝐘𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐒 & 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐂 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 🏅with the plan now being released 🎈 we are seeing many positives including those in line with the 2023 united crossbench statement of halting a Gabba rebuild 🏨 adherence to the $7.1 billion budget, and more legacy infrastructure in regional areas. Even though announcements that any athlete accommodation 🏘, including in Maroochydore, will be utilised for housing after 2032, concerningly the words ‘affordable’ were absent in the government’s statements as the crossbench were clear that all built accommodations must be transferred to either social or community housing providers to ensure affordable options for our key worker families 🏠. With no mention that the Host City contract will be made public, no doubt we will be seeking this to be content! 👍📌Going forward, there is much work for our community in a very short amount of time. This includes ensuring that our housing, transport, infrastructure and other issues raised with governments are resolved well prior the Games, and that our sporting upgrades are delivered for the team training opportunities in advance that have been sought. 🚌🛣 🏈The clock is now ticking, and may the legacy of this Games include one where communities and their residents benefit as a priority 🤛🙏👉Read more on Noosa 360 at www.sandybolton.com/2032-olympic-and-paralympic-games-legacy-update-march-2025 ...

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐄? 👵 The Education, Arts and Communities Committee (EACC)’s held a public hearing in Noosa and I thank the committee for the invitation to listen and ask questions of witnesses. With our electorate having a higher percentage of seniors than elsewhere in QLD, as I said in my opening remarks, this is an opportunity for an open conversation on the many types of abuse of our matriarchs and patriarchs. This can include unacceptable property settlement court delays that is leading to homelessness, and carers who are retiring into poverty due to a lack of superannuation . With written submissions closing 10 April, we encourage all who have been impacted or know of someone impacted to make a submission via 👉 www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-Committees/Committees/Committee-Details?cid=0&id=4455 ...
