Sports precinct to be discussed at Proserpine ministerial forum

The proposed development of a sport, leisure and recreation precinct will be on the agenda when the Ministerial Regional Community Forum for the Mackay–Whitsunday region comes to Proserpine next month.

The Minister for Primary Industries and Fisheries, Tim Mulherin, and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Tourism, Regional Development and Industry, Jan Jarratt, 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 a proposed sports, leisure and recreation precinct 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 Proserpine Community Centre from 10 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.
