Senator O'Sullivan would be very aware of the real outcomes this coalition government is delivering to drought affected areas in Queensland. Some 15 councils have had projects approved to help revitalise and stimulate the local economies across Queensland while generating confidence and growth. In Mckinlay shire, four projects to help boost tourism, including the refurbishment of a cultural centre, the expansion of the Julia Creek Caravan Park and upgrading amenities at the Kev Bannah Oval, have all been approved. The Blackall-Tambo Regional Council will receive funding to restore the Tambo sawmill, support a major upgrade of the historical cookhouse and refurbish the saleyards, and support land development at the Blackall racecourse complex. These are all very clear examples of the on-the-ground, real outcomes that this coalition is delivering for our drought affected communities.
