Regional Development Strategy

Purpose

THE 2021-2026 REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IS A COUNCIL DOCUMENT THAT OUTLINES THE STRATEGY FOR REALISING ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE SOUTH BURNETT REGION.

Informed through workshops with South Burnett Councillors, Industry, Queensland Government Department of
State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning and Burnett Inland Economic Development
Organisation representatives, this document aligns with relevant strategies from the Wide Bay Burnett Local
Government Areas and State and Federal Government.

Stakeholders within and outside of the region will be able to utilise the Regional Development Strategy to inform
their own strategic planning and develop partnerships with Council and other stakeholders to add value to their
priorities and implementation of actions.

Council intends for this strategy to evolve and will be supported by a Regional Work Plan that identifies projects
and opportunities for sustainable growth over time.
