Subscriber only THE Queensland Government has hit fast-forward on a $26.4m emergency department expansion at Cairns Hospital but the LNP s health crisis roadshow scheduled for Thursday has been cancelled. Opposition Leader David Crisafulli was due in Cairns to host a town hall forum at the Cairns Showground from 9.30am after a packed house at the Sunshine Coast s own event on Wednesday. However, due to the recent Covid-19 case detected in the Sunshine Coast, Mr Crisafulli confirmed his trip to the Far North had been postponed. Unfortunately this event will be postponed after the chief health officer advised a Covid positive case visited Caloundra this week.

On Saturday, the Cairns Post reported the purchase of the land bordered by Sheridan, Grove, Charles and Digger streets had been achieved through federal funding, which included $10m for the dirt and $50m towards stage one.
