THE Fraser Coast's two Labor state MPs won't stand in the way of a Level 5 hospital being built in Bundaberg.
Instead, they've talked up other health services with one telling Councillor David Lee to "stick to looking after his own role in Local Government".
He wanted local leaders to join him in advocating for the upgraded services to be prioritised on the Fraser Coast which had a greater projected population increase and was better suited geographically for a Level 5 hospital.
Member for Hervey Bay Adrian Tantari said it was a given that he wanted to advocate for the best possible facilities for the city as he had been elected to represent the interests of Hervey Bay "but the commitment has been given to build a hospital in Bundaberg".
