“The works will include the asphalt resurfacing of all six lanes of Anzac Ave between Gynther Rd and Klinger Rd,” said Ms D’Ath

“Design work on this project is currently underway. Consultation with stakeholders will commence once these plans are finalised.” Ms D’Ath said.

“I welcome the addition of almost 3km of cycle lanes to the network in the Moreton Bay region. These new lanes, and the Shared Pathway on the Moreton Bay Rail Link will provide choice for local and visiting cyclists,” Mr Whiting said

“As a cyclist myself I am pleased to see these much anticipated lanes added to Anzac Avenue, providing another active transport option for people across the region to get out and active.”

“This is the first upgrade of the road surface on Anzac Ave in almost a decade, and is part of the Palaszczuk Government’s commitment to improving Queensland’s infrastructure.” Mr Whiting said.

Ms D’Ath and Mr Whiting said that they look forward to the upgrade works commencing in early 2017.

Bill Shorten Visits Redcliffe

In an attempt to win over undecided voters, Bill Shorten has attended a ‘People’s Forum’ at the Redcliffe RSL.

Bill Shorten has made commitment towards ensuring Australia’s steel industry remains intact. Some criticism was directed towards the Liberal government for the car industry disaster.

Other issues touched on incuded: tax exemptions for religious organisations, putting pressure on childcare fees so they remain low, reducing the cost of private health insurance by consorting with the Private Health Care exeutives.

There were comments regarding the current NBN system, ‘Too much copper.’ There was also talk of reducing the gender pay gap from 17%, directed towards education and nursing.

He was quoted as saying, “It’s sort of ironic that the current Turnbull Government is making some of the same mistakes of disunity that got people so annoyed in the Rudd and Gillard era, but we seem to have learned our lesson about being united.”
