Charters Towers Regional Council is committed to being a strong and respected regional Local Government voice to promote and facilitate growth on behalf of our community, through advocacy initiatives.
To do this, Council has appointed an Advocacy Group to establish and champion our priorities.
Our advocacy priorities are grounded in the needs and aspirations of our Region. They are informed by ongoing community engagement and strategic planning efforts. Many of these priorities are also reflected in regional plans, where Council has played a key role in ensuring that local priorities are strategically represented.
These priorities can evolve over time as milestones are achieved, the community's interests change, or new opportunities and challenges arise.
The 2025 Advocacy Plan will be sent to ministers and key stakeholders at both a State and Federal level. This will ensure Council can work constructively with other levels of government to achieve the Region’s needs.
