COMMUNITY CABINET TO BE HELD IN WHITSUNDAY ON 17 AND 18 JUNE 2007
The Queensland Cabinet will return to the Whitsunday region for a Community Cabinet Meeting on 17 and 18 June Premier Peter Beattie announced today.
“It will be the third time we have held a Community Cabinet in the Whitsundays and the 103rd Community Cabinet held by my Government since it came to office,” Mr Beattie said.
“I urge everyone in the Whitsunday region to come and join the Queensland Cabinet public forum at Bowen on Sunday, 17 June at the McKenna Hall, Bowen State High School.
“The formal meeting of State Cabinet will then be held at the Police Citizens Youth Club at Airlie Beach on Monday 18 June and be followed by a community reception.
“The north is rapidly emerging as Australia’s new economic frontier and my Government is developing strategies to support the growth and development of Bowen as part of our State’s northern economic triangle.
“Growth brings many challenges, so we need to continue to plan services and infrastructure to help meet the needs of our growing population.
“To do this, we need to meet and listen to Queenslanders about their needs, their industries and their visions for the future of their State.
“The Cabinet and I, look forward to meeting the people of the Whitsundays at next month’s Community Cabinet.
“I thank the Member for Whitsunday Jan Jarrett for her invitation for the Cabinet to meet in Bowen and Whitsunday Coast,” Mr Beattie said.
