he Morning Bulletin has pulled together a list of exciting multimillion-dollar projects in the pipeline, due to break ground or throw open their doors around Central Queensland in 2021.

Rockhampton Museum of Art The scaffolding is coming down, windows are going in and soon the crane will come down at the construction site for the $31.5 million Rockhampton Museum of Art on Quay Street. Jointly funded by local, State and Federal Governments, the completed structure will be six times the size of the existing Rockhampton Art Gallery, providing a home for the city s impressive art collection while delivering significant benefits to the community, generating tourism, economic benefits, and opening up new opportunities for local artists.
Miranda Broadbent is standing for Mayor in the Rockhampton by-election, but don t expect to see her face on corflute signs lining our busy roads any time soon. Nor will you find her glossy brochures among the pizza vouchers in your mailbox, leading up to January 23. They re bothersome, they re intrusive and they end up straight in the bin, said the mother-of-two from her home in Wandal. My campaign reflects what I will do in practice, should I be voted Mayor, and one key focus will be to reduce, reuse and recycle, creating industry in our region to make this happen. It will be a different campaign to what others may be doing but it will be what s right for me.
