@LGAQ Inagural Policy Executive meeting for 2020 term. ‘The Parliament of Queensland Local Government a place of robust debate for the betterment of all local communities. An impressive demonstration of where the voice of communities is heard about politics and personal agendas’

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@GlennButcherMP @StirlHinchliffe Great work Barcaldine ! Great advocacy for you community. Thanks @GlennButcherMP for supporting partnership between state and local governments 🙏

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

We must always look to evolve but losing connection to those that have the closest view to the people they serve is flawed. Communities want 2 see governments working together - all of them - not just those with the most public funds. It is common-wealth after all🤔#LocalMatters

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@qland12 @LGAQ @StirlHinchliffe @QldEnvironment @renew_economy The fantastic thing about this program is these are projects that can be funded too. Many councils have been doing this. Full return of waste levy to these types of projects would mean we and others can do much more.

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@droughtfloodaus Agree wholeheartedly!

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

Thank you Minister @StirlHinchliffe - we know you understand the power of local governments to deliver rapid scalable job creating projects - excited to see the bigger benefits this will bring 4 tourism, agriculture, mining and local communities through locally led projects.

[Local Government Association of Queensland @LGAQ]

Thank you @StirlHinchliffe for listening to #localgovqld and committing an extra $200m for a COVID Works for Queensland Program, including SEQ councils, to create jobs & ensure no community is left behind. We look forward to continuing to work with you to help #QLD recover.

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@LGAQ CEO @Greg_Hallam joined the Premier today as she announced $200m for councils across the State as an initial step in funding their local Battleplans to create jobs and stimulate economies - we look forward to this partnership and the future it will bring #COVID19

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

We have a COVID battleplan 4 our councils. Seeking to get support from State Gov to provide councils w the $ framework 2 support their communities. But the $ pitch is only part of our battle line - it’s also soldiers like @LGAQRobFerguson who have been relentless in the trenches

[Local Government Association of Queensland @LGAQ]

.@LGAQRobFerguson participated in the #COVID19 Government Agencies – regulators meeting this morning. Participants from @qldhealth, Office of Liquor And Gaming Regulation (OLGR), @QldAgriculture  & @fisheriesQLD (DAF) caught up to discuss the #COVID19 regulatory related matters.

Western Queensland councils told us how they r supporting child care centres to stay open but that not being eligible for jobkeeper meant one council was having to subsidise their centre wages 25k wk. They r doing their bit but when Fed gov takes 80% of all Gov $, it isn’t right

[Local Government Association of Queensland @LGAQ]

Mayors of Central Western Queensland as part of the @RAPAD today talked about a range of important things to communities in Western Queensland. Projects to support local COVID-19 Battleplan’s showed how important they can be for local jobs and economies.

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@NancySommerfiel @toowoombaregion Worthy reminder. We must consider how stimulus can secure our essential water services. So important at this time.

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@LeeanneEnoch @AttenboroughSir Happy Birthday Sir !

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

@AnnastaciaMP thank you for listening and recognising the good work everyone has be doing in Queensland - Queensland is a large decentralised State - one size won’t fit all. @lgaq and our Mayors appreciate you taking forward the requests to build on good work being done.

[Local Government Association of Queensland @LGAQ]

Thank you @annastaciaMP for listening to Mayors and @Lgaq and allowing recreation travel within 500km for Outback Queensland.

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

Well said 🙏

Sobering research: unemployment could lead to a rise in suicides from 3000 to up to 4500. Impacts expected to be greatest among the young, rural/regional/tourism communities. @LGAQ LG Battleplan would help prevent this crisis. https://t.co/R2c97Hy4AJ

@rick_mayor Morning Rick !

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

No other partner can offer the widespread, scaleable, rapid impact to local jobs and economies that @LGAQ councils can. Federal & State governments hold 97% of public funds but they 💯 need LG if want locally led response & recovery. #LocalMatters

[10 News Queensland @10NewsQLD]

A $600 million battle plan has been formed to give businesses an economic boost during the fallout of COVID-19. Queensland's peak local government body says the proposal could create up to 14,000 new jobs | @bg_savage

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

And hopefully soon home to a new bakery once restrictions are lifted - so the local favourite camel pies 🥧 can be enjoyed once again @ProfJohnCole

[Local Government Association of Queensland @LGAQ]

We congratulate and welcome Robbie Dare, returning for a second time as Mayor of Diamantina Shire. Diamantina is 2x the size of Denmark but home to fewer than 300 people. It’s also home to the famous Birdsville Pub & Outback race that’s been running since 1882. PC @diamantinaqld

[Professor John Cole OAM @ProfJohnCole]

Birdsville Bakery changes hands and needs a baker https://t.co/Ns5TkUVeBS via @qclnews

[Sarah @SarahBucklerBMC]

Great initiative to facilitate local job matching @LGAQ encourages local councils to embrace and promote these these statewide initiatives to drive locally led recovery relevant to their communities

[Shannon Fentiman @ShannonFentiman]

We’ve just launched our new Jobs Finder Portal and free online training for Queenslanders impacted by COVID-19.
We’re upskilling Queenslanders to fill the jobs that we need right now and in the future. #qldpol #jobsfinderqld #coronavirusaus
