Your Voice. Your Noosa.
As an Independent Member of the Queensland Parliament, I am honoured to represent the wonderful diversity that is Noosa, not a political party or personal ideology. This is liberating and empowering for the residents of our electorate and provides opportunity to create a future that you have envisioned. One that is bold in researching ideas and trialling new ways to address our challenges, through the development of partnerships and a focus on what unites. One that encourages open discussion and respectful debate which concentrates on common ground and what can be achieved. One that considers all viewpoints and perspectives, with objective research and a passion for people, that puts Noosa first.
I am your voice. It is your Noosa.

LAS COMMITTEE ESTIMATES HEARING 2022 – Our Committee has the portfolio of Legal Affairs and Safety, with Ministers Fentiman and Ryan at the helm of their portfolios which are vast and include the independent bodies such as the Ombudsman, all the way to our fire services. With my questions there was some positive, including confirmation of extra policing. Then there was the not so positive, such as the ‘reply paid’ debacle regarding postal votes applications. Because something at this time is lawful, does not make it right!

KIN KIN ROAD PROJECT UPDATE: As everyone is aware, Stage 1 works on Kin Kin Road are progressing, with Stage 2 of approximately 150 metre section expected to start this month, weather and construction scheduling permitting. TMR have advised they expect higher truck movements with the asphalt and earthworks and will strive to balance impacts on the community and motorists and are engaging with local school bus operators to coordinate the delivery of materials. They also advise that every effort will be made to keep disruptions and noise to a minimum, with the majority of works to be undertaken during the day from Monday to Friday between 6am and 6pm. As previously posted, this will be a frustrating time and some patience will be needed as all 4 stages of this project do not expect to be completed before early in 2023 weather permitting, so please add some extra travel time to your journey. For any further information please contact TMR on 54517055, with the full project update posted to Noosa 360 at www.sandybolton.com/kin-kin-road-maintenance-update-august-2022/

QPWS PLANNED BURN 9 AUGUST 2022 - Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) have advised that they are conducting planned burn operations within the East Weyba Section of Noosa National Park from today, 9 August 2021, weather permitting, as part of the annual hazard reduction and conservation program for parks and forests. The aim of this burn is to reduce the volume of forest fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas. This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires and provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration. As a result, smoke may be seen in the areas surrounding Peregian Springs, Peregian Beach, Marcus Beach, Castaways Beach, Weyba Downs, Noosaville and Sunrise Beach.
NOOSA HOSPITAL – ⚕️ It was really good to catch up with Anna and Joanne from Ramsay Health Care regarding the temporary expansion currently under DA with Noosa Council for Noosa Hospital via demountable buildings to increase capacity to the Emergency Department to avoid where possible ‘bypassing’ which will also assist with the ambulance ramping at SCUH. These will operate 24/7 alongside the existing Emergency Department and will remain on site whilst the permanent expansion is finalised. We are nearly there!! 🚑 #noosahospital #ourcommunity #solutions
