Strong collaboration and partnership has underpinned this week’s Council of Mayors (SEQ) delegation to Queensland Parliament. A big thank you to the Ministers, Shadow Ministers, MPs and officials who took the time to meet with us.
The Queensland Government and Council of Mayors (SEQ) have a strong record of collaboration and partnership over many years. Our collaborative efforts helped to secure the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and in March 2022 we finalised the SEQ Foundation City Deal which is an opportunity to work closely together with the Federal Government to shape our region’s future over the next 20 years.
Together, we’re also working on key initiatives including:
- tackling the challenges of regional planning and growth, transport and affordability through the Regional Planning Committee
- improving the health of the region’s waterways and environment through initiatives like Resilient Rivers, and
- improving resource recovery and circular economy through implementation of the SEQ Waste Management Plan.
There is significant collaboration happening in South East Queensland and we want to continue this conversation to ensure our region remains the best place to live, work and play.
