More than 200 people attended the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre on Sunday for a Queensland Government Community Cabinet meeting.
Queensland Premier, David Crisafulli said the Government was delivering a plan for the Mackay Whitsunday region’s future.
“We’re listening to the people of the Mackay Whitsundays to ensure we deliver what matters to them – safety where you live, health services when you need them, a stronger economy and a plan for the future,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“This Mackay Community Cabinet has been a great opportunity to engage with the community to listen to ideas and priorities as we shape the future together delivering safety where you live, health services when you need them, and a plan for the future,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“Thank you to everyone who supported the event and took the time to meet with Ministers because this government is laser-focused on delivering a fresh start for Queenslanders across this region.”
During the visit, the Government announced $1 million for Chances House to continue supporting vulnerable Queenslanders experiencing homelessness. A further $1 million was announced in further support for six additional homelessness services.
The Government is also delivering $2 million to establish academy regional hubs in Central and North Queensland with the first based in Mackay at the Resources Centre of Excellence.
