This week it was back to Charters Towers, one of my favourite regional Queensland centres. Over the next few months I will be working on the new Arts and Cultural Development Policy and Management Plan for the region. This a great opportunity or work with the Council and the community on crafting a plan that will make a measurable contribution to health and well being, quality of place and the cultural tourism experience. There can be a bundle of public benefits arising from this initiative. This place has so much going for it. So good to be back working in regional Queensland.
