Capalaba, held by LNP but historically a Labor seat

All three candidates agreed that roads' funding was a priority and said they would lobby for upgrades to Quarry and Rickertt roads, Mount Cotton Road and parts of Redland Bay Road.

Mr Davies, 49, who won 53.7 per cent of the two-party preferred vote when he ousted ALP sitting member Michael Choi in 2012, said the major issues in the electorate were creating job opportunities, providing better road infrastructure into Redland City and increasing frontline health and education services.

He said he would push for funding for dual lanes from Duncan Road to Mount Cotton Road to Mackenzie and would work to implement a revised busway plan.

More police on the beat was another of Mr Davies' election promises.

ALP candidate former union official Don Brown, son of ALP stalwart Don Brown Senior, said his major project would be to "repair essential services damaged by LNP cuts".

The 34-year-old said the main issues in Capalaba were fixing cuts to local health services, oversized school classes, youth unemployment and cuts to Alexandra Hills TAFE.

If elected, he would lobby for more police and affordable public transport, more trains and direct bus services from the Capalaba interchange.

"The only thing that is proven to improve law and order is police on the beat with the resources to do that job I will work to make sure we get our fair share of police resources," he said.

The Greens' Erin Payne, 22, a teacher who lives in Cleveland, said her priorities were cutting public transport fares, reducing school class sizes and youth unemployment.

"We need more local training and education options," she said. Nipping crime in the bud by improving access to education and employment will go a long way to reducing the drivers of crime in our community."
