Local issues on agenda at Ministerial Regional Community Forums
Local solutions to local issues will be discussed when the next round of Ministerial Regional Community Forums is held on Monday 24 September 2007.
Forums will be held in 10 communities across Queensland:
• Beenleigh
• Boyne Island–Tannum Sands
• Charters Towers
• Chermside, Brisbane
• Collinsville
• Gatton
• Nambour
• Thursday Island
• Toowoomba
• Wondai
Communities Minister Warren Pitt said the forums enabled regional Queenslanders to discuss local issues with the government, and to help develop local solutions.
“Cabinet Ministers, Parliamentary Secretaries and other Members of Parliament will travel across Queensland to discuss significant local issues with regional community representatives, known as forum members,” Mr Pitt said.
“While the agenda at each forum is tailored to the particular topics of each region, the agenda at all 10 forums will also include discussion on strategies to address climate change.
“This will help the Queensland Government communicate its messages about climate change to a statewide audience.”
Ministerial Regional Community Forums have been held across Queensland since 1999. Forums are held four times each year in 10 different regions across the state.
