Independent Noosa MP Sandy Bolton aims to distribute as much as possible of her office operating budget back into the community.


“State Members of Parliament (MPs) have a set amount of funds allocated for the purchase of equipment and other office requirements, as well for advertising on billboards, newspapers and radio, which I have never supported as I believe where possible these funds should be used to benefit the residents rather than the office bearer,” Sandy said.


Projects made possible with this funding include the All-abilities Mat on Noosa Main Beach, the Peregian Kindy Sensory Garden and Cooran Organic Garden, a transport pilot to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital which now has been funded Queensland wide, among so many more.


Applications close 12 pm 1 March at www.SandyBolton.com/MP-Funding-Partnerships.
