Advocacy for first class patient care is a priority that I will fight for and support RACQ CQ Rescue to be able to deliver the high standard emergency service response that is our safety net. Queensland Health's decision to close the RACQ CQ Rescue helipad at the Mackay Base Hospital in two months without informing the Mackay and Whitsunday community is wrong and my greatest concern is the risk to lives. The helipad is scheduled to be closed for the duration of the hospital’s redevelopment, which could be up to three years.

“I want to thank the Mackay, Whitsunday and Isaac communities for the support they have shown our RACQ CQ Rescue Service. In just 7 days, over 1000 people signed the Queensland Parliamentary Petition calling on the RACQ CQ Rescue helipad to be located on site at Mackay Hospital and Health Service (or close access to emergency) during the construction of the hospital expansion or until the new onsite helipad is completed.

MEMBER for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP, has condemned the Queensland Labor Government for silencing critical debate on Spanish Mackerel catch limits. “Last night in Parliament, the Government cut the debate short, so Members like myself couldn’t raise critical issues like data integrity, lack of Government transparency or tell the story of the many fishers in my electorate and how they will be impacted”, Ms Camm stated.

Qld Health plan to shut the helipad at the Mackay Base Hospital for the duration of the hospital redevelopment, which could take 3 years. This decision will risk lives.

Our roads are the enablers for all our industries to thrive; from moving freight, to connection for tourism and for us who live in regional areas they are our links to our services, schools, sport, family, and friends.  Due to the Labor Queensland Government's mismanagement of major projects, Rail Projects in SE Queensland have blown out by billions of dollars. This has resulted in other projects being delayed or cancelled.

The RACQ CQ Rescue Helicopter will not be able to land at the helipad at the Mackay Base Hospital during the hospital redevelopment which is likely to last 3 years. Instead they will have to land at the Mackay Airport and have patients transported to the hospital by Queensland ambulance.

This decision is unacceptable and will risk lives.

MEMBER for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP has welcomed today’s announcement by the State Government that they will be allocating $660 000 to fund a dedicated homelessness service in the Whitsundays.

Machinery and workers are back on site at the Shute Harbour and Paluma Road roadworks. I'm yet to receive official confirmation, but I will keep advocating until works are delivered as promised.

MEMBER for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP is calling on the State Labor Government to provide an honest update on critical infrastructure projects across the region. The Albanese Federal Government announced a “90-day Review” of road and rail project funding and 90 local infrastructure projects, worth over $14 billion face the chopping block under this review.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the community and all should be celebrated. This month we shine the spotlight on the VMR Midge Point and Paul Bowman Challenge volunteers👏

MEMBER for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP has thanked the Northern Beaches community for their recent engagement and contributions towards the consultation for Mackay Bucasia Road upgrades. Transport and Main Roads (TMR) sought feedback about potential future upgrades to Mackay Bucasia Road and Ms Camm has made a submission based on the feedback she received.

PROSERPINE Agriculture Show Association has constructed another all-weather pavilion with $100, 000 in grant funding under Round 113 of the Queensland Gambling Community Benefit Fund (GCBF).

The community has had their say regarding upgrades needed for Mackay Bucasia Road and after a month of engagement over 555 submissions were received, which is a fantastic effort.
