LNP leader Campbell Newman, like his Labor counterparts, is promising to fix Gladstone’s lack of infrastructure, but the what, when and where still remain unclear.

The LNP Leader and the shadow minister for state development, infrastructure, planning and reconstruction Jeff Seeney were in Gladstone yesterday and told The Observer they will embark on a period of intensive consultation and investigation into Gladstone’s infrastructure needs.

The LNP leader said he saw first-hand how the Bligh Government was failing Queenslanders by not spending money on key infrastructure like roads and flood-proofing towns.

“Mr Seeney will spend the next 90 days compiling a strategic blueprint to be titled Building Queensland’s Future – Together,” Mr Newman said.

“He will be criss-crossing the state listening to communities to develop future infrastructure priorities – and assessing infrastructure shortfalls.”

Mr Newman said he wants the LNP to get Queensland back doing what this state was once famous for – building, improving and maintaining facilities and delivering services for the benefit of all Queenslanders.

Mr Seeney said the Labor government has repeatedly proved that it is incapable of planning and totally inept at delivery.

“Queenslanders shouldn’t have to put up with repeated excuses for poor roads, rundown schools and hospitals, and sub-standard public transport,” Mr Newman said.

“We intend to deliver an infrastructure investment strategy that won’t just rebuild Queensland but restore and revive the state from its Labor-induced slumber.”

Mr Newman said the LNP shadow ministry has a can-do attitude.
