Member for Whitsunday, Amanda Camm attended the Midge Point/Bloomsbury community forum last week, to give residents the opportunity to raise concerns and speak directly with her on matters involving connectivity and service disruptions.
Ms Camm said she was impressed at the record turnout at the community forum which was held on Sunday afternoon at the Midge Point Tavern.
She thanked the Midge Point Progress Association for hosting the forum and the community for the way they conducted themselves at the meeting.
“The Midge Point/Bloomsbury community is frustrated, and they have every right to be. This is a resilient community, used to overcoming disruptions to service and setbacks who are mostly frustrated with the lack of communication and information they receive”, Ms Camm stated.
Ergon and NBN representatives attended the forum and provided an update on their electricity supply and internet connectivity issues and also committed to raising individual complaints.
Many attendees came due to concerns raised during the week on social media regarding Mackay Regional Council’s coastal study. Ms Camm provided some clarity on this issue as well as discussing other issues raised including beach erosion, beach access and community facilities.
“It is disappointing to see the Member for Mirani trying to gain political points by spreading misinformation and criticising another level of government,” said Ms Camm.
“Everywhere I go across the region, the community are saying the same thing – they just want to be heard! They want greater community consultation and communication from all three levels of government.”
Ms Camm, stated that anyone that couldn’t attend the forum who required further information on specific issues can contact her office on 4845 3100 or whitsunday@parliament.qld.gov.au
