Qld Budget 2018 | Gold Coast to get $1.5b in health funding

-
Services to assist with the busy flu season and the rising demand for mental health will get a shot in the arm when the Queensland Government outlines its annual budget tomorrow.
Almost $1.5 billion will be invested in health care on the Gold Coast in 2018-19, as part of a record $18.3 billion allocation for the state’s health services and infrastructure.

Also on the Mayor’s agenda is ongoing funding to attract international film and television productions to the south east.
And, a financial commitment for a dive site off the coast.
“I believe we can get it for the same price as HMAS Tobruk, which is around $10 million.
“If the State Government can put in $8 million, we can top it up.”
Treasurer Jackie Trad will outline her first State Budget on Tuesday.

If you feel as though you spend half your life tilting your head every which way, or hanging off the back veranda just to get one bar of coverage on your mobile phone – you could be in luck. The Federal Government has allocated $25 million to the fourth round of the Mobile Black Spot Program. The competitive selection process for round four of the program is expected to commence later this year, and Mr van Manen suggests any Gold Coasters who believe they live or work in a black spot to have their voice heard. “I encourage local residents, businesses and community organisations to engage with their state and local governments through the consultation process to enhance coverage outcomes.” Read this News:  http://www.mygc.com.au/better-mobile-phone-coverage-on-the-way/
