BRETT Svendsen has a new list of priorities and hopes to bring them to life in Livingstone.

Born in Yeppoon and having lived in Emu Park most of his life Mr Svendsen has previously served on the Livingstone and Rockhampton councils.

Since last serving on the council the projects which the Emu Park local fought for are now realities.

Mr Svendsen said he had a whole new list of priorities covering different areas of the region which he would implement if elected to council which included upgrades of boat ramps, a 12 month freeze on rates and a Cawarral skate park to name a few.

The candidate said the main reason he was running for council was because there wasn't enough attention on the Emu Park end of the coast.

"I don't think we have enough representation from down this end of the coast," he said.

"Getting councillors down this end is quite difficult...I'm here, I'm hands on."

Mr Svendsen said the people of Livingstone really needed to have councillors which truly represented the region.

"If you look at all the other councillors running they aren't in any community groups. I've probably got more experience than a lot of the candidates."

Mr Svendsen hoped he would have the chance to serve on council so he could implement his new ideas.

"If I am elected it will be an honour to serve constituents once again."
