Queensland State Election Implications
Date: 29-Jun-2017
While it remains too early to make a call on a result, members may be interested in the responses provided to LGAQ’s 10 point plan by each major party which are available here.
While the responses are silent on a number of issues impacting water and sewerage service provision, QWRAP is supported by both parties with the ALP making a financial commitment in writing.
More to come – the early election has taken many by surprise including those within government and so a number of announcements we expected to see have been delayed indefinitely. For those interested in the Industry Partnerships Strategy application (see Water Skills e-flash #37) the deadline for expressions of interest remains as 13 February as while the future of the program may be uncertain, we will likely need to be in a position to respond at very short notice if it does proceed.
