Multicultural centre development to be discussed at Kuranda forum
The Minister for Tourism, Regional Development and Industry, Desley Boyle, and the Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation, Andrew McNamara, are scheduled to attend the public forum on Monday 3 December.
The Minister for Main Roads and Local Government, Warren Pitt said Queensland Government Ministers and Members of Parliament would discuss the establishment of a regional multicultural centre for far north Queensland with regional representatives, known as forum members.
“I encourage anyone interested in local issues to attend as part of the public audience and listen to the views of forum members and the attending Members of Parliament,” Mr Pitt said.
The forum will take place at the CWA Hall on the corner of Barang and Thongon Streets, Kuranda, from 9 am.
Ministerial Regional Community Forums have been held since 1999 and are held in 10 regions across Queensland.
The public meetings bring together Cabinet Ministers and appointed regional leaders to share information and discuss topics relevant to the region.
“The forums enable the Queensland Government to keep in touch with communities and be better informed about regional issues of concern,” Mr Pitt said.
