The Cairns Institute was very pleased to host the Queensland Plan Ambassadors (QPA) to James Cook University (JCU) for an Ambassadors Council Meeting in Cairns on the October 10. The Cairns Institute’s Professor Allan Dale was appointed as the Deputy Chair of the Premier’s Queensland Plan Ambassadors Councill by Premier Palaszczuk earlier this year. The Deputy Chair works closely with the Chairperson of the Council, the Honourable Tony McGrady AM, to coordinate ambassador activities and events. The Council meets regularly in various locations.
Allan Dale said that “The Queensland Plan is a legislated document that sets out a long-term vision for the future of the state, working across shorter term electoral cycles. The Ambassador’s Council keeps a strong link between the Government of the day and the Queensland community about progress towards the implementation of the plan.”
The Plan is based on the belief that every Queenslander should have a say in the future of the state. The long-term community -based vision of for the Plan emerged from the largest statewide community engagement activity of its kind ever undertaken in Queensland, with more than 80 000 people contributing to the process. The results within the Plan have articulated community aspirations for the next 30 years, setting a roadmap for growth and prosperity.
While in Cairns, the Ambassadors meet with The Cairns Institute Director, Professor Stewart Lockie and many other regional stakeholders, community leaders and Traditional Owner groups as attending a tour of the JCU Ideas Lab.
