Have been working through the 2026-27 State Budget and what it means for the #Jordan Electorate and here is what I have found:
🚆🛣️ Public Transport & Roads Projects
❌ Centenary Highway - no new funding
❌ Ipswich to Springfield Rail Line - no new update or funding
❌ Flagstone to Brisbane Rail Line - no new update or funding
❌ Springfield Station Parking solution - no funding
❓ Greenbank & Flagstone Roads - unclear whether will fund through $2b RAF
❌ Mount Lindesay Highway - no new funding
✅Ipswich Bus Improvements - existing funding
🎒🏫Education
❌ Springfield Central SHS Senior Campus - no funding or update
❌ Greenbank High School - no funding or update
❓Primary School for Flagstone - listed in $38m funding pool (8 new schools)
❓Springfield Special School - listed in $38m funding pool (8 new schools)
✅Woodcrest State College ITD Building - existing funding
✅Springfield Central SHS Refurbishments - existing funding
🏥🚓👨⚕️Health, Police & Community Services
❓Ipswich Hospital Expansion (Stage 2) - in $2.2b funding pool (16 hospitals)
✅ Ipswich Hospital Carpark - existing funding
✅ Hope Hub Recovery Centre in Springfield - new funding
✅Goodna Police Station Upgrade - existing funding
My initial assessment is there is very little new or additional funding for #Ipswich or #Logan , despite representing the two fastest growing regions in Queensland.
Whilst disappointing, it's made me even more determined to keep fighting for the infrastructure and services our growing communities deserve. ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Charis, where is the Springfield special school expected to be built? I'm curious, please and thank you
Taken from Neighbourhood Centres Queensland…. We’re expected to do more (because the need has increased) on the limited funding that we get. Even harder because we too are hit hard with the cost of living.
Didn’t we just build a parking tower for Springfield station?

Another idiot to block
10 years of labor mismanagement and now we have to pay the price. A sensible budget. Instead of buying votes well done lnp
Was there any budget allocated to a Springfield/greenbank arterial upgrade?

Some very selfish wants there.
More than just the upgrades we need more maintenance for the lights on the centenary. I know it's because of copper thieves and they need to change to aluminium but it's still very slow
Budgets are an opportunity to invest in the priorities that matter most to local communities. Looking forward to seeing strong support for infrastructure, services, and initiatives that help families, businesses, and growing communities thrive.

Bad lighting...but great meeting! 😊
Such a pleasure to catch up with Acting Principal Judith Jones from St Augustine's College last week.
Despite being one of our larger local schools, the College's individual academic and pastoral support and care for their students is impressive.
From their youngest Preppies just starting their schooling to their Year 12's about to head out into the big world, this is a school community where everyone contributes and belongs. ... See MoreSee Less

A strong school community is built on care, belonging, and opportunity. It's wonderful to see the dedication of educators and leaders who support students at every stage of their journey.
Last week, I attended some wonderful (and early!) NAIDOC week events with some of our #Jordan Schools as we celebrated 50 Years of Deadly! 🖤💛❤️💚🤍💙
Just a few highlights:
Spring Mountain State School premiered their very own and beautiful School 'Acknowledgement of Country' which was developed by local jarjums and accompanied by an amazing art piece from the very talented Kylie Hill from KJH Artworks
Flagstone State School held a meaningful Ceremony with dance performances from the 'Flaggy Mob' - students from the neighbouring Flagstone State Community College and with the support of Mununjali Elders, Aunty Janis and Aunty Gerry.
Hymba Yumba Independent School had an entire day dedicated to celebrating culture and community with all students, special visitors and local Elders participating in activities across the campus. ... See MoreSee Less

I was so pleased to offer my support today for the inaugural ‘Flavours of Hope’ Long Lunch at Hanworth House.
This wonderful event is aimed at raising funds for the incredible work of RAILS - Refugee and Immigration Legal Service.
RAILS not only offer legal expertise to their clients.
They offer expertise with patience, kindness & with an understanding that for someone who has spent a lifetime without protection, being treated with dignity and respect is no small thing.

As the sun set over #SpringfieldLakes, we came together to remember Muzhda Habibi, one year on from her tragic death.
Thank you to the Domestic Violence Action Centre and members of our Afghan community for organising a candlelight service to honour the life of this beautiful young woman and mother.
To Muzhda’s family, who joined us this evening we continue to offer our support and deepest condolences. ✨
