Too many of the people we’ve spoken to are in housing stress – facing the prospect of homelessness – and they don’t qualify for social housing because the income thresholds haven’t kept pace with the real cost of living.

🏫 Letter to the Minister - Build Burpengary East Primary School
I’ve written directly to the Education Minister calling on the State Government to fully fund construction of the school in the 2027–28 State Budget.

The land is there. Our community is growing. And local families shouldn’t have to wait until beyond 2030 for a new school.

You can read my letter to the Minister below. 👇

Now I need our community to keep the pressure on.

ICYMI: 🏫 Our community has outgrown its schools. I'm calling on the Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek to visit our Burpengary East, North Harbour and Caboolture West communities and see firsthand why we need new schools.
