Didn’t get an invitation to Mackay for the Queensland Plan Summit? Don’t worry, Queenslanders can now have their say about shaping the long-term future of the state through The Queensland Plan website.
Six questions, collaboratively developed at the summit in Mackay on Friday, are now online for all Queenslanders to answer.
Premier Campbell Newman said the questions reflected a consensus view of the delegates who attended the Mackay summit.
“The questions were developed from a collaborative process involving more than 400 community, industry and government representatives at the summit,” Mr Newman said.
“The spirit on show in Mackay was one of teamwork and I thank all who attended for their passion and participation.
“The summit was only the first step in the journey. It is now up to all Queenslanders to have their say on the state’s future.
“The answers to the questions will tell us where Queenslanders want their state to be in 30 years’ time, detailing our priorities for the future.
“The Queensland Plan website is only one way to give your feedback. You can also get involved by contacting your local MP, or attending local community engagement events.”
The six questions Queenslanders have been asked to answer are:
- In the context of living in the community, how do we move our focus from me to we?
- How do we create and foster an education culture that teaches skills and values to meet global challenges and optimise regional strengths?
- How do we empower and educate individuals, communities and institutions to embrace responsibility for an active and healthy lifestyle?
- How do we structure our economy to ensure our children inherit a resilient future?
- How do we strengthen our economic future and achieve sustainable landscapes?
- How do we attract and retain the brightest minds and ideas where they are most needed and capitalise on global opportunities?
