Appropriate and affordable housing to be discussed at Beerwah forum

Appropriate and affordable Housing will be on the agenda when the Ministerial Regional Community Forum for the Sunshine Coast region comes to Beerwah next month.

The Minister for Communities, Disability Services, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Multicultural Affairs, Seniors and Youth, Lindy Nelson-Carr, and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport, Trade, Employment and Industrial Relations, Gary Fenlon, 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 appropriate and affordable housing 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 Beerwah RSL, 27 Beerwah Parade, from 11 am. A pre-forum workshop for the local community will be held at the same venue 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.
