Community Cabinet coming to Far North Queensland |
|
The State Government's Cabinet is coming to Innisfail and Mareeba on 28 February and 1 March.
This is a great opportunity for the people of Far North Queensland to come along and meet the State's key decision-makers and hear how the Bligh Government plans to guide Queensland through the effects of the global financial crisis and keep delivering outcomes.
This is about Ministers and MPs keeping in touch and listening to regional Queenslanders. It's a chance for individuals, groups or organisations to come face to face with the Premier and Cabinet Ministers, as well as the Directors-General of various government agencies.
Requesting a formal deputation will help ensure people meet the representative of their choice wherever possible. Deputation request forms are available:
