State Government Election 2024
Hello! My name’s Jason Hunt and I have the good fortune of being your local elected representative to the Queensland Parliament.
Growing up as the youngest of four sons, in a single income family, I know the value of affordable housing and rental options and how vital it is for people of all ages to be able to access a comprehensive and well supported public health system.
I have always been drawn to positions of service – after graduating from Caloundra State High school I began serving the nation in the Regular Army, followed by two decades of serving community safety as a Corrective Services Officer, up until my election as your Member for Caloundra in 2020.
After 21 years in corrective services, I have a particular interest in community safety and supporting our dedicated front-line workers who keep our community safe. I have always maintained that being an MP for the community you grew up in is a rare privilege and one I feel honoured to hold.
Having lived here for the best part of 50 years I am deeply invested in the people, places and institutions that make up our community and I’m dedicated to making sure our region grows in a way that sustains all that is best about Caloundra and the Sunshine Coast. I am passionate about our community and our unique lifestyle, and I’m honoured to be representing Caloundra on Premier Miles’ team as I seek my second term at the upcoming state election.
Election Pitch
As I reflect on my first term, I’m so proud of what I have achieved in just four short years – not only did I deliver every election promise from the 2020 election, but I’ve delivered over and above those promises.
During the 2020 election, I made three election promises to Beerwah State and High School and Landsborough State School and am proud that all have since been completed. I delivered on my promise to upgrade the tuckshop and senior playground for Beerwah State School and in addition delivered a refurbished resource centre as well.
I delivered on my promise for an upgraded Industrial Design and Tech Building for Beerwah State High School. By investing in STEM our Labor State Government is investing in real world jobs for local students, making sure they have the tools and equipment that give them access to the jobs of the future.
I delivered on my promise to refurbish and upgrade the Landsborough State School sports field. I’ve delivered upgrades to the Peachester Road Lights, upgrades for the Steve Irwin Way, a brand-new park ‘n’ ride facility at Landsborough railway station and to deliver stage one of the Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Project by 2032.
I’ve delivered two brand new schools, a new Police, Fire and Ambulance Station for Aura, 10 new Police Officers, a police helicopter, Automatic Number Plate Recognition Cameras and a Mobile Police Beat.
It’s also been a pleasure help our local constituents where we can, from homelessness to Health enquiries, to folks who just need a bit of help connecting with State Government services.
