Have your say on state issues

Noosa Independent MP Sandy Bolton is urging residents to say what they think should be the 2024 State Parliament priorities for the Noosa electorate.

It takes just five minutes, and your responses identify the greatest local concerns that are important to you, your family and our community as well as your thoughts on state issues across Queensland.

The results assist in case building as part of Sandy’s advocacy and in taking forward the Noosa position when voting on legislation.

Questions in this year’s survey include those on issues such as non-lethal shark control methods, sentencing of repeat youth offenders and the utilisation of recycled or desalinated water.

“After a decade of representing our community, one of the greatest fallacies I hear is that residents cannot affect change,“ Sandy said.

“I can assure you that you can, and do, every day. Your collective voice is powerful, providing reassurance to those making decisions that they are aligning to community expectations, whilst making provision for voices that may not agree with the majority. All viewpoints are important and need to be considered in any determinations that state government makes.”

Last year’s survey saw a number of majority for votes including 80 per cent of responders seeking to restrict vaping in public spaces, which has since been implemented, demonstrating how effective your voice is, and why it is important to be involved in the decision-making processes that effect our communities by engaging in surveys and polls.

The 2024 Survey closes on 16 January at 1pm and can be completed on Sandy’s website at

Please note: This survey is for constituents of the Noosa state electorate only and pertains to state issues, not local council or federal government matters.

Updates on many state issues including the former TAFE site, electric bike/ scooter safety, Noosa River management, the establishment of an advanced manufacturing hub for Sunshine Beach State High School, Tewantin Bypass Stage 2 and 3, policing and much more are available on Noosa 360 at sandybolton.com/noosa360 Use the handy search bar to find a topic you seek information on.
