Source: Queensland. Premier. Media Release
"Premier Anna Bligh announced a high-level advisory team to help Queensland tackle the challenges of population growth. The announcement comes ahead of the Council of Australian Government meeting where population growth, and planning for it, will be a key issue.
“Growth is real and I’m determined to tackle it head on and protect Queensland’s unique lifestyle,” Ms Bligh said. “SEQ is the fastest growing region in the country with 2000 additional people calling Queensland home every week. We have to seize this opportunity and get this right.
Next year, we’ll have a growth summit which is a great opportunity to bring together people from across Queensland to help us lead the nation into the next period of prosperity and continue to enjoy the best lifestyle in Australia."
