MEMBER for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP is calling on Whitsunday residents frustrated with the lack of action on Shute Harbour Road at Hamilton Plains to register their support for upgrades and express their main concerns.   

Ms Camm said residents should visit nodelays.com.au to complete a short online form.  

“We’ve had another wet season whereby the residents of the Whitsundays have once again felt the impacts of Hamilton Plains flooding, delaying emergency services, families, students and tourists from their daily activities”, Ms Camm stated.  

Funding has been available for the project since 2019 with tenders closing over a year ago and construction meant to commence mid last year.   

“All we have seen from this State Labor Government is excuses and delays and it is important that the Government start listening to the wishes of our community”. 

Ms Camm said she will be holding mobile offices across the electorate this month so the community can have their say on Hamilton Plains and other issues important to them.  

“Every day that passes with the delay of this project delivers nothing but inconvenience, economic loss and puts our community at risk. I am calling on the Whitsunday community to send the Government a message because regional roads matter and deserve to be a priority.  For residents who can’t visit me at one of my mobile offices, I invite them to have their say and sign my petition for no more delays for Hamilton Plains at www.nodelays.com.au
