Member for Whitsunday welcomes island report

The Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP has welcomed the findings and recommendations of the Inquiry into the economic and regulatory frameworks for Queensland island resorts, which was tabled to the Queensland Parliament on Friday.

Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP urges the government to adopt the recommendations of an island report tabled to Parliament last week.

“It’s good to finally see a spotlight has been shone on Queensland islands, and in particular the Whitsunday islands, with a raft of recommendation to support sustainable island development for years to come,” Ms Camm said.

“I urge the Government to adopt and implement all of the committee’s recommendations as quickly as possible.”

Ms Camm said these changes would ensure that leaseholders of islands could not sit dormant on their promises of development.

“It ensures owners and the people of Queensland get to experience the return on investment into Queensland’s beautiful islands that they deserve.”

Ms Camm has been involved in the progress of Keswick Island since her days as Deputy Mayor of Mackay Regional Council, and shoring up a future for Keswick was one of her first commitments as the Member for Whitsunday.
