The not-for-profit\u00a0Red Earth Community Foundation (RECF) is working on a project to help shape the future of the Burnett region over the next 50 years.<\/p>\n

The project, funded by Stanwell, aims to design a process so Burnett residents can become involved in regional planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cStanwell is planning for change internally, and by supporting the design of this process, they are providing the opportunity for people right across the region to be involved in planning for their business, community and region\u2019s future,\u201d Red Earth chair Georgie Somerset said.<\/p>\n

The Burnett Inland Futures Strategy (BIFS) project will cover the North and South Burnett regional council areas, as well as parts of the Toowoomba, Gympie and Somerset local government areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are keen to support our communities across the Burnett Inland to be involved in co-designing their future,\u201d Mrs Somerset said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are considering the next 10, 20, 50 years, and we are confident people living and investing in the region are the best people to help build this plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many regional studies, so we will bring together those relevant to our region to provide underlying information for people, while we also design the process for people to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Somerset said the BIFS was an opportunity for all levels of government to collaborate with industry and community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know there are many levels of investment in our region, and through this strategy, there can be a co-ordinated approach across the Burnett Inland,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the region has weathered recent years of drought, with floods and storms thrown in for good measure, effectively utilising our water and other natural resources will be critical, and we know our climate will influence our future investment.”<\/p>\n

Mrs Somerset said the first stage of the BIFS project would be the collation of existing data.<\/p>\n

The community engagement process would also be designed for the second stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be also seeking interest from people keen to lead community conversations during the second stage. While RECF is leading the process, there will be many ways for people to be involved,” Mrs Somerset said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be many ways to be part of the process, as individuals, community groups, businesses and stakeholders \u2013 people can register now on our website<\/a><\/strong> so we can keep them updated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
