Public transport options to be discussed at Flagstone ministerial forum

Public transport options will be on the agenda when the Ministerial Regional Community Forum for the Moreton region comes to Flagstone next month.

The Minister for Transport, Trade, Employment and Industrial Relations, John Mickel, and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier, Phil Reeves, 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 issue of public transport options within Beaudesert Shire 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 Flagstone State Community College, corner Homestead Drive and Poinciana Drive, Flagstone 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.
