From the cane fields of Macknade to bookshelves across Australia, Angelina Mastrippolito’s debut memoir Le Seconde: Inheriting the Unspoken has made an inspiring impact. Her hometown launch, held at TYTO Conference Centre in Ingham, was a moving and memorable event, with more than seventy people gathering to celebrate her success. Friends, family, childhood neighbours and past classmates filled the room to show their support, purchase a signed copy, and hear Angie speak about her journey. The w

This time of year is a great chance to reflect, recharge, and gear up for what the next 12 months will bring. For Hinchinbrook, there is plenty of work to be done in 2025, and I’m ready to hit the ground running. This year my focus will be on pushing ahead with our major road and marine infrastructure projects
that are critical to the future and growth of our region.
In the northern part of the electorate, I look forward to seeing the detailed design finalised for the Gairloch project. This project also includes the Seymour River stretch where far too many accidents have occurred in recent times. The Dallachy Road project near Tully is due to commence construction at the end of the wet season and it will be great to finally see some concrete and steel coming out of the ground and work commencing to flood mitigate the southern approach to Tully.
In Townsville, the Woolcock Street corridor, running through Burdell, Deeragun, and Mount Low, will be a major priority as the need to alleviate congestion during peak times grows by the day. This problem must be rectified so that more housing options can be unlocked in Townsville’s north.
In the new year we are expecting to see progress with the rock wall and dredging project at Dungeness and in Port Hinchinbrook it appears the State is set to continue the process of acquiring the remaining properties under liquidation. Another major focus of mine is getting the Cassady Creek boat ramp moved closed to the mouth of the creek. These facilities are not only important for locals, but they also play a major role in
attracting visitors to our region.
While it’s still early days, the government has shown encouraging support for the key projects that matter to Hinchinbrook. I’m optimistic that as we head into the New Year, we’ll be in a strong position to push forward and deliver the projects our Hinchinbrook community truly deserves.
I hope you all are enjoying what remains of the New Year break and here’s to a successful and productive year ahead!
