It was a great opportunity to discuss the Crisafulli Governmentโs focus on flood recovery, red tape reduction and other key issues with over 100 small business owners and staff from across Townsville.
Thank you for attending our first event of 2025 and then to return for round two a deep dive into red tape challenges at a member round table.
We really appreciate your time.
It was wonderful to meet you this morning!
Great to have you on the ground in Townsville, throwing your support behind our small business community!

Great catching up this morning Steve . Inline with Crisafulli Government gaining Government Townsville PVW business confidence survey " Businesses in Townsville are feeling momentum as economic confidence climbs fueling expansion and investment " . Copperstring is part of $35 bil investment pipeline for our region KPMG 25,000 jobs next 5 years . Defence has signed off on $250 mil 400 home build 3 local builders for defence transfers to the region . Urgently need more housing and hopefully your red tape reduction can streamline .
While walking the streets of Ingham, I spoke with several small and family businesses impacted by the floods.
I met Tammy and Sarah from MENZ, Amber from I Love Boutique, as well as Alfio, Cameron and Ryanโeach sharing stories of heartache but also inspiration.
North Queenslanders are showing incredible strength. The David Crisafulli MP Government will ensure small and family businesses get the support they need to get back on their feet as quickly as possible. ... See MoreSee Less
David Crissafulli - I appreciate your Philosophy of " Build Back Better" but there is so much that you do not discuss, like every Politician that chases Photo Ops. Think Cyclone Larry, Think Cyclone Jasper. What you & Journalists never cover is the real story of what is happening on the ground. I know this because I lived in FNQ for 20 yrs & watched the Media Circuses of Many Before you. " All the Supplies that are coming in to FNQ at this current time - 14th Feb 2025 are going to Hospitality Operations - Restaurants, Cruise Operators, Govt Depts. Many people in FNQ are still recovering from Cyclone Jasper in Jan 2025 - many businesses in FNQ are still fighting with Insurance Companies, Dealing with Cowboy Operators for Building, Supply issues. Most of Australia has no idea of the many long, ongoing issues that a stagnate, non- moving low can cause. Cyclone Jasper in Jan 2025 is a classic example. And here we are again 12 months later. Barge & Air Supplies are Prioritised to Commercial Operators - Govt Orgs, Tourism & Hospitality Operators - Restaurants, Regional Areas that need immediate Cash Input, Cruise Operators. It is not going to Child Care Centres so Mum's & Dad's can return to work. It is not going to Supermarkets - shelves are Totally Bare - but any local with more than 2 braincells has stocked up, but many are now - 12 days later in desperate need of very basic Supplies- Medical Supplies & Medicine, Fuel, Food, Cleaning up Supplies. Oh & there is an Explosion of Meliodosis. No one else in Australia is informed about any of this. Meanwhile Kuranda range, Rex Range, & Gillies are staffed by hundreds of People still trying to repair Jan 2024 damage from Cyclone Jasper. BOM has a lot to answer for here - as not educating people about Stagnant Lows - which is exactly what is happening now & happened in Jan 2024. If you really did care, beyond your Ego, you would be telling the rest of Australia about this
Weโre renovating Queenslandโs building regulations to make it easier for builders, tradies and subbies to get on with the job.
The Crisafulli LNP Government's Building Reg Reno will scrap unnecessary red tape, reduce costs and modernise outdated regulations.
Hereโs what weโre doing๐ โ Pausing the rollout of trust accounts to projects under $10 million, easing the burden on smaller builders โ Scrapping unnecessary financial reporting requirements for 50,000 small operators, saving 97% of small builders and sole traders time and money โ Removing duplicative workplace health and safety reporting requirements โ Fast-tracking digital licensing and processes at the QBCC โ Improving the QBCCโs review and dispute resolution processes โ Reviewing licensing and insurance thresholds โ Removing duplicative license fees for some plumbers โ Introducing a Queensland Housing Code to streamline design and siting rules
This is just the beginning.
We want to make Queensland the building capital of the nation to help ease the housing crisis. ... See MoreSee Less

We have fulfilled every commitment we made to Queenslanders as part of the 100 Day Plan.

Rather confused. The 100 day what has it actually delivered. Agree, youth crime laws changed as promised although it has many gaps, but I’ve not heard anything being done for the cost of living and housing issues, unless i missed something?

This morning, I joined Townsville MP Adam Baillie MP and Mundingburra MP Janelle Poole MP at the Townsville Chamber of Commerce's CBD Coffee event.
It was a great opportunity to discuss the Crisafulli Governmentโs focus on flood recovery, red tape reduction and other key issues with over 100 small business owners and staff from across Townsville.
A big thank you to the Townsville Chamber of Commerce for bringing the business community together for such an important conversation. ... See MoreSee Less

While walking the streets of Ingham, I spoke with several small and family businesses impacted by the floods.
I met Tammy and Sarah from MENZ, Amber from I Love Boutique, as well as Alfio, Cameron and Ryanโeach sharing stories of heartache but also inspiration.
North Queenslanders are showing incredible strength. The David Crisafulli MP Government will ensure small and family businesses get the support they need to get back on their feet as quickly as possible. ... See MoreSee Less

David Crissafulli - I appreciate your Philosophy of " Build Back Better" but there is so much that you do not discuss, like every Politician that chases Photo Ops. Think Cyclone Larry, Think Cyclone Jasper. What you & Journalists never cover is the real story of what is happening on the ground. I know this because I lived in FNQ for 20 yrs & watched the Media Circuses of Many Before you. " All the Supplies that are coming in to FNQ at this current time - 14th Feb 2025 are going to Hospitality Operations - Restaurants, Cruise Operators, Govt Depts. Many people in FNQ are still recovering from Cyclone Jasper in Jan 2025 - many businesses in FNQ are still fighting with Insurance Companies, Dealing with Cowboy Operators for Building, Supply issues. Most of Australia has no idea of the many long, ongoing issues that a stagnate, non- moving low can cause. Cyclone Jasper in Jan 2025 is a classic example. And here we are again 12 months later. Barge & Air Supplies are Prioritised to Commercial Operators - Govt Orgs, Tourism & Hospitality Operators - Restaurants, Regional Areas that need immediate Cash Input, Cruise Operators. It is not going to Child Care Centres so Mum's & Dad's can return to work. It is not going to Supermarkets - shelves are Totally Bare - but any local with more than 2 braincells has stocked up, but many are now - 12 days later in desperate need of very basic Supplies- Medical Supplies & Medicine, Fuel, Food, Cleaning up Supplies. Oh & there is an Explosion of Meliodosis. No one else in Australia is informed about any of this. Meanwhile Kuranda range, Rex Range, & Gillies are staffed by hundreds of People still trying to repair Jan 2024 damage from Cyclone Jasper. BOM has a lot to answer for here - as not educating people about Stagnant Lows - which is exactly what is happening now & happened in Jan 2024. If you really did care, beyond your Ego, you would be telling the rest of Australia about this

Weโre renovating Queenslandโs building regulations to make it easier for builders, tradies and subbies to get on with the job.
The Crisafulli LNP Government's Building Reg Reno will scrap unnecessary red tape, reduce costs and modernise outdated regulations.
Hereโs what weโre doing๐
โ Pausing the rollout of trust accounts to projects under $10 million, easing the burden on smaller builders
โ Scrapping unnecessary financial reporting requirements for 50,000 small operators, saving 97% of small builders and sole traders time and money
โ Removing duplicative workplace health and safety reporting requirements
โ Fast-tracking digital licensing and processes at the QBCC
โ Improving the QBCCโs review and dispute resolution processes
โ Reviewing licensing and insurance thresholds
โ Removing duplicative license fees for some plumbers
โ Introducing a Queensland Housing Code to streamline design and siting rules
This is just the beginning.
We want to make Queensland the building capital of the nation to help ease the housing crisis. ... See MoreSee Less

We’re delivering on our promise for a Fresh Start for Queensland. We have fulfilled every commitment we made to Queenslanders as part of the 100 Day Plan. Read the completed plan here: www.qld.gov.au
Rather confused. The 100 day what has it actually delivered. Agree, youth crime laws changed as promised although it has many gaps, but I’ve not heard anything being done for the cost of living and housing issues, unless i missed something?
No stadium in Victoria park
I found an easy table within your report so provide a link here - darn it’s impressive! www.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0026/562274/first-100-days.pdf?
