Queensland Premier, David Crisafulli, has today announced he and his Ministers will host their first Queensland Government Community Cabinet in Cairns on Sunday 2 March.
The Cabinet will meet residents, community leaders, businesses and stakeholders to discuss local priorities, as well as how the community and government can work together to improve the lives of far North Queenslanders.
Premier Crisafulli said the Cairns event would be the first of a number of Community Cabinets to be held throughout the year.
“It’s important to me and to our Ministers that we meet as many Queenslanders as possible to discuss the challenges and opportunities to build a better Queensland together,” he said.
Member for Mulgrave, Terry James said the Community Cabinet would help the region.
“This is a great opportunity for the Cairns community to meet the Cabinet and have their say about the issues affecting them and the opportunities which we have to develop our wonderful region,” Mr James said.
Member for Barron River, Bree James encouraged residents to participate in the event.
“This is a golden opportunity for the community to be bold and to create a vision for Cairns which future generations will be proud of, and I look forward to seeing many residents and hearing about their exciting ideas at the event,” Ms James said.
Applications to participate at the Cairns Community Cabinet are now open.
