The electorate of Flynn is over 132,000 square kilometres and is almost twice the size of Tasmania.
It stretches from the Central Highlands to the West, Gracemere to the North, Gladstone to the East and Wondai to the South while taking in the towns in between.
I drive over 50,000 kilometres a year staying in touch with our local communities and spend around 20 weeks in Canberra representing you in Parliament.
My electorate offices are open in the following locations to service the large Flynn electorate:
- 76 Goondoon Street, Gladstone QLD 4680
- 2/115 Egerton Street, Emerald QLD 4720
- 39 Capper Street, Gayndah QLD 4625
I’m committed to taking Flynn forward.
