Youth activities to be discussed at Helensvale ministerial forum

Youth activities and events will be on the agenda when the Ministerial Regional Community Forum for the Gold Coast comes to Helensvale next month.

The Minister for Child Safety and Minister for Women, Margaret Keech, and the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Sport, Judy Spence, are scheduled to attend the public forum on Monday 3 December 2007.

The Minister for Main Roads and Local Government, Warren Pitt said Queensland Government Ministers and Members of Parliament would discuss the issue of youth activities and events 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 Helensvale State High School’s Performance Centre at 243 Discovery Drive, Helensvale from 1 pm.

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.
