Michael Pucci

Michael Pucci – Candidate for Jordan

Michael is a community minded family man who has lived in the local area since 2003.

 Michael has a very wide range of professional development and training skills.  He served on active duty in the U.S. Marines for 20 years in roles ranging from Security Forces, Recruiting, Inspector-Instructor Duty and Administration & Logistics, including duty in the area of combat operations during the Gulf War.

His duties in civilian business range from an accounts manager to Executive Manager of a company with more than 200 employees providing multi-millions of dollars in turnover each year.

After his 20 years of military service and 11 years in the business sector, Michael served his community as the Member for Logan in the Queensland Parliament. Since then, his local state electorate has changed and is now named Jordan.

Michael worked as a very effective National Contracts Manager and then Executive Manager of a long time, successful company that provides facilities management, cleaning, security and training to clients across Queensland; including to local and state governments as well as industrial and commercial clients.

While Michael was the Member for Logan, Queensland was the leadingeconomy in the nation creating jobs at three times the rate of any other State.

The best indicator of how a Member will perform is to look at their track record. In only two years after he was previously elected as the Member for Logan (now Jordan), Michaeldelivered:

– shorter hospital waiting times, 

– more police on the beat, 

– better performing schools, 

– more reliable and frequent public transportation, and 

– more than $700,000 in funding/grants to sporting clubs and community organisations

The Logan Hospital’s overall satisfaction rate rose to 92%, and was trending towards 100%.

The hospital received $145 million in capital works funding to upgrade their emergency department, the rehabilitation and pediatric units and the Day surgery unit.

Logan received 150 more police officers on the beat (over and above what was scheduled to be assigned) as well as more resources to assist them to perform their duties.

Logan schools received more than $15 million of funding (compared to a pittance in the past) for everything from capital works and long overdue maintenance; to literacy and numeracy programs. Also delivered was additional prep teacher aid hours, a school based police officer, e-tablets for students and laptops for teachers.

During Michael’s time as the local Member for Logan, the frequency of buses from Jimboomba and Park Ridge to Browns Plains virtually trippled, and he also delivered a $10 million dollar upgrade to the Grand Plaza Bus Interchange that included a kiss ‘n’ ride, CCTV cameras and a facility to top up gocards.

More clubs and community organisations received funding at the grass roots level with the Park Ridge Pirates receiving nearly $150,000; the Panthers receiving $100,000.00; and the Logan Village Pony Club receiving $76,000.00. Many other clubs received between $5,000 to $50,000.

After 20 years of Labor chaos, waste and mismanagement, Michael helped to get Logan back on track. With your support he is eager to do it again.

Many of the improvements the community now have are a direct result of Michael’s hard work and representation.

If elected again, Michael is committed to being a community champion for the electorate of Jordan and focusing on issues that need to be addressed – including the housing crisis for home buyers and renters; the escalating costs of living (including electricity and energy costs); safety and civility in the community; as well as local projects and programs to help improve the lives of the people in the Jordan electorate.

Michael’s Track Record previously as MLA for Logan

In only two years after Michael was elected, the following items were delivered to Logan:

– shorter hospital waiting times, 

– more police on the beat, 

– better performing schools, 

– more reliable and frequent public transportation, and 

– nearly 3 quarters of a million in funding/grants to sporting clubs and community organizations, just to name a few.

The Logan Hospital overall satisfaction rate rose to 92%, and was trending towards 100%.

The hospital received $145 million in capital works funding to upgrade the emergency department, the rehabilitation and paediatrics units and the Day surgery unit.

Logan received approximately 150 more police officers on the beat, over and above what was scheduled to be assigned previously along with more resources to perform their duties.

Logan schools received over $15 million of funding (compared to a pittance in the past) for everything from capital works and backlogged maintenance to literacy and numeracy programs. Also delivered was additional prep teacher aid hours, a school based police officer, e-tablets for students and laptops of teachers.

During Michael’s time as MP for Logan, the frequency of buses from Jimboomba and Park Ridge to Browns Plains virtually tripped, and he also delivered a $10 million dollar upgrade to the Grand Plaza Bus Interchange that includes a kiss n’ ride, CCTV cameras and a facility to top up Go cards.

More clubs and community organizations received funding at the grass roots level with clubs like the Park Ridge Pirates receiving nearly $150,000 and the Panthers receiving $100,000.00 and the Logan Village Pony Club receiving over $76,000.00. Many other clubs have received between $5,000 to $50,000.

After 20 years of Labor chaos, waste and mismanagement, Michael helped get Logan back on track. 

Many of the improvements the community has now are a direct result of Michael’s representation.

If elected again, Michael plans on continuing as a community champion for the electorate of Jordan focusing on issues of housing crisis for home buyers and renters, the escalating costs of living including electricity and energy costs, safety and civility in the community, as well as ensuring improvements from his last term continue to improve the lives of the people in the Jordan electorate.
