Happy State Budget Week!
This is the ninth State Labor Budget that I've had the privilege of supporting and I'm excited to let you know what's in it 🥁🥁
Here are some State highlights:
📣 Free kindy for all Queensland families
📣 $550 Cost of Living Rebate to every Queensland Household - up to $1072 for eligible vulnerable households
📣 $89 billion 4-year Big Build capital infrastructure program
📣 $650 rebates for eligible small businesses
📣 $322 million to build more social housing
📣 $150 SwimStart vouchers for families with children aged 0 - 4
Locally, in and around the Kurwongbah electorate, we're getting:
✅$15 million to upgrade the Dayboro-Youngs Crossing Rd intersection
✅ Almost $15 million to support the start of our Burpengary Train Station upgrade (more $$ coming next year)
✅ $12 million over two years to upgrade North Pine Dam
✅ $9.7 million for Skilling Queenslanders for Work programs
✅ Youth Co-Responder Teams for Moreton Bay
✅ $$ to open our Satellite Hospitals at Caboolture and Kallangur
And, we're delivering all of this while bringing the budget into surplus! I'm proud to be part of a government delivering on cost of living relief, good jobs, better services, and continuing to invest in our great lifestyle here in Queensland.
I welcome your feedback on the 2023-24 Queensland State Budget.
