Newly re-elected member Bob Katter is likely to have part of the balance of power in the new Parliament.

Both major parties would be likely to offer him a good deal for his electorate in return for his support to form Government.

Several Mount Isa voters nominated incentives for people to live and work in the region as a key priority.

Mount Isa voter Sharon Sellings said she wanted to see zone allowance raised to $10,000 from the current level of a few hundred dollars.

"That will encourage people to stay in the area and encourage growth," she said.

Grazier Phillip Anderson, Winton Park Station near Boulia, said better incentives for health professionals were also needed.

"Labor's plan to have medical consultations over the internet is rubbish. We need more doctors," he said.

Cloncurry small business owner Karen McGee nominated aged care as the area she was most concerned about.

"We had a perfectly good aged care facility here five or six years ago, but now we've got nothing," she said.

"I also want to see better maintenance of our state schools, especially in Cloncurry. Bob should ask for a maintenance schedule for every school in Australia."

Mount Isa Chamber of Commerce president Brett Peterson said the CopperString transmission line to the coast was one of the most important infrastructure needs for the electorate.

"Upgrading road and rail services would have to be a close second," he said.

Mr Peterson would not say whether he thought Labor or the Coalition would better service the North West, but he did nominate Labor's mining tax as a key issue.

"We cannot afford to see that tax come forward again. I think Bob is very mindful of the damage the tax would do to an area like Mount Isa."

Mount Isa to Townsville Economic Zone executive officer Glen Graham said he agreed that electricity, upgrading the Flinders Highway, and rail were some of the key issues.
