FLIGHT PATH REVIEW COMPLETED

Honoring Our Veterans

Thank you to all including volunteers, students and attendees for an incredibly moving Anzac Day honouring our fallen veterans, with the largest gatherings across our electorate we have ever seen. We will always remember.

Flight Path Consultation

The consultation period for the Air Service’s Post Implementation Review of flight paths has now been completed. Even though in the Federal Government realm, last week we prepared a Noosa 360(www.SandyBolton. com/Noosa360) summary with points relevant to our community.

Teewah Airstrip Feedback

The Department of Environment and Science is seeking feedback until 12 May on the future of the Teewah Airstrip,with further information at www.SandyBolton. com/Teewah-Airfield-April-2023. This site has been utilised by community including for evacuations during fires. Option one is to transfer wholly to National Park tenure, withoption two to transfer the majority to National Park and retain the cleared landing area (approximately 10%) as Landing Ground Reserve or some other form of appropriate tenure for community use.

Reviewing Victim Support

In Parliament amongst many other speeches, I made a Private Members Statement regarding our ongoing efforts to improve committee processes, to address both old and new failings to get the best outcomes. With my Legal Affairs and Safety Committee being tasked with reviewing support for victims of crime, which is an enormous body of work, the eight weeks given doesn’t do justice to victims and their families. After unsuccessfully seeking leave for this to be debated in

Chamber and writing to the Committee Legislative Assembly, I am more determined than ever to get this review of our systems done and await the response to my latest requests!
