The Mackay region is set to take centre stage in November as the Queensland Government brings its next Community Cabinet to town, giving locals the chance to speak directly with Premier David Crisafulli and his team of Ministers.
Scheduled for Saturday, the 2nd of November, the event will see government representatives meet with community members, business owners, and local leaders to discuss priorities, challenges, and opportunities for Mackay and the surrounding region.
The Premier said hosting Community Cabinet in Mackay was an important step in listening to regional Queenslanders and ensuring their needs are heard.
“It’s important we visit Mackay to listen, engage, and share ideas with the community, especially to hear their concerns,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“We’re committed to ensuring the needs of the Mackay community are not only met but are exceeded, particularly on issues relating to crime, health, housing, and cost of living.”
The Community Cabinet will provide locals with the opportunity to meet Ministers, raise local concerns, and help shape the region’s future through one-on-one deputations and a community afternoon tea.
Member for Mackay Nigel Dalton said the event would allow the region’s residents to directly contribute to the decision-making process.
“I look forward to seeing as many locals as possible take this opportunity to attend and have their voices heard on the issues that matter most to them and their families,” Mr Dalton said.
“The Crisafulli Government is looking forward to working together to make Mackay an even better place for future generations.”
The Government said Mackay continues to be a regional priority, with investment in frontline policing, health facilities, housing, small business support, and infrastructure to drive local jobs and long-term prosperity.
Previous Community Cabinets have been held this year in Cairns, Townsville, and Emerald, and Mackay’s event marks another step in the Government’s plan to strengthen engagement with regional Queenslanders.
Community members can now apply to attend the afternoon tea or request a meeting with a Minister to discuss local issues and ideas. For more information or to register interest, visit the Community Cabinet page on the Queensland Government website.
