BEACH Energy will indefinitely suspend operations at the recently redeveloped $22m Katnook Gas Plant next financial year following declining gas volumes at its Limestone Coast wells.

I am as disappointed as anyone in our community that we do not yet have a commitment from the Federal Government to fund upgrades to the Stadium.

The Morrison Government is investing more than $3.5 billion dollars in vital upgrades to the Bruce Highway and the North Coast Rail. It has also invested $3 million in the Caloundra Events Centre, $5 million in a High-Performance Sports Hub in Kawana, and hundreds of thousands more in smaller community sports projects.
