Meet Andrew

My wife, Taryn and I live in Palmwoods with our five children and I’ve worked hard over the past 15 years as your member of parliament delivering for our amazing communities.

I am determined to ensure the Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay regions continue to be the best place in Queensland to live, work and raise a family.

I have had some fantastic roles since including a term as Minister for Environment, Shadow Minister for Transport, Main Roads and Local Government and Shadow Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning, but nothing beats being the Member for Glass House.

Together with the community, we have achieved vital improvements such as:

• a new overtaking lane and safety improvements on the D’Aguilar Highway;
• new traffic lights at Reed Street and Steve Irwin Way, Glasshouse Mountains;
• a new concrete bridge over the Mary River at Conondale;
• increased financial support for local schools, sporting and community groups;
• the installation of flashing school zone safety lights at almost all local schools; and
• improved local frontline services including a new police station at Maleny, additional police on the beat in Woodford, Palmwoods and Maleny and reductions in dental and surgery waiting lists.
• secured funding to upgrade Maleny-Kenilworth Road at Cambroon
• delivered another overtaking lane on the D’Aguilar Highway at Woodford
• signalised intersection at Beerwah State School – to commence soon
• a pedestrian crossing in the main street of Woodford

But the job’s not done, and I am as keen as ever to keep delivering for our communities in the great Glass House electorate.
