- Construction of a modern police station in the constituency
- Upgrading the basketball court into a full-fledged sports complex
- Repairing the St. Joseph playing field to enable international cricket and football activities
- A seaport fully manned by customs and immigration officers for commercial businesses, fully retrofitted for a sea-plane landing
- Establishment of new market plaza to be named after CJ Ferreira, a top community farmer
- Emphasizing the St. Joseph religious feast to portray a reflective community experience
- Installing a life-size monument of Jeff Joseph at Jeff Joe square at the centre of the community

The UWP candidate who spoke in glowing terms to party supporters systematically broke down all she plans to achieve if elected and the UWP end up winning the December 6 general election. She vowed that many of these promises will be initiated within the first 18 months of a new UWP government, adding that “these infrastructural amenities will help to greatly enhance the aesthetics of the community.”
