Collinsville is set to shine even brighter, with Federal Member for Capricornia, Michelle Landry, announced this week a $250,000 commitment to deliver the next stage of the town’s beautification project if an LNP Government is elected in May.
This fresh injection of funding will deliver Stage 2 of the revitalisation, focusing on landscaping both entrances to Collinsville and enhancing the area leading to the cemetery, ensuring the first and last impressions of the town reflect the heart and pride of the local community.
Michelle Landry said the project would build on the solid foundation already laid by the LNP Government through the $741,750 delivered in 2022 under the highly successful Building Better Regions Fund for Stage 1 of the Collinsville CBD upgrades.
“I’ve fought hard to deliver real infrastructure for Collinsville. This has included a brand new QCWA hall, to the Stage 1 town centre upgrade and $1.2 million for the waterpark,” Ms Landry said.
“This additional $250,000 commitment is about finishing what we started. Collinsville is a hardworking, proud community and it deserves to look just as good as it feels to live in.
“Under the former LNP Government, we backed regional towns like Collinsville with funding that made a real difference. If elected, the LNP will get back to delivering for our regions, not forgetting them like Labor has.
“The new commitment is a clear sign the LNP is delivering for regional Queensland and the people of Collinsville.”
