I believe that improving infrastructure like the port, dry dock, and roading and rail links will help deliver prosperity to our region.
Developing this infrastructure will naturally bring more and better jobs to the area.

Introduce policy to entice and support a 24 hour economy for the district.
Create "youth attractive" work streams for local talent. Promote "scholarship" programmes to recognise future leaders.
Ensure spend on roading infrastructure is prioritised to deliver safety to local road users.
