Cabinet – April 2011
Queensland Regionalisation Strategy – Contributing to Rebuilding a Better
Queensland
Deputy Premier and Attorney-General, Minister for Local Government and Special
Minister of State
1. The Queensland Regionalisation Strategy (QRS) was a key action arising from the 2010
Queensland Growth Management Summit.
2. Participants in the 2010 Growth Management Summit recommended that strengthening
Queensland’s regions must be a priority, and Government help is required to spread both
the potential negative impacts of growth and the prosperity that growth brings.
3. The Strategy recognises our regions are unique and their capacity for different types and
rates of growth varies.
4. It targets effort toward activities that unlock regions’ economic potential and value the
quality lifestyle and environment of each region. These are actions that stimulate and
sustain economic growth and development across Queensland, create sustainable jobs
and enhance liveability.
5. This Strategy seeks input from the community on existing and future growth patterns and
a prioritisation of actions to support future opportunities and address local challenges.
6. Cabinet endorsed the public release of the Queensland Regionalisation Strategy
consultation draft.
