Blueprint themes on agenda at Clermont
Liveability, prosperity and sustainability are the themes at the Regional Community Forum at Clermont today.
Minister for Primary Industries and Fisheries and Member for Mackay Tim Mulherin said the themes were an essential ingredient to the Queensland Government’s Blueprint for the Bush.
Sustainability, Climate Change and Innovation Minister Andrew McNamara and Parliamentary Secretary to the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Ronan Lee also will be attending the forum at the Civic Centre, Belyando Shire Hall.
“Blueprint for the Bush is now in its second of a 10-year whole-of-government strategy to support the rural and remote areas of the state, through such things as the Food and Agribusiness Export Strategy and building residential aged care facilities,’’ Mr Mulherin said.
“What we want at these forums is community input into what we have done and how the community’s see us developing further the State Government’s role in rural Queensland.’’
Ministerial Regional Community Forums have been held since 1999 and are conducted up to four times a year in regions across Queensland.
The public meetings bring together Cabinet ministers and appointed regional leaders to share information and discuss topics relevant to the region.
