Bigger, Bolder, Brighter
Come and join us for breakfast and the chance to learn about the plans and opportunities in the Moreton Bay Region. Heading in a new direction, Moreton Bay Regional Council is driving the Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS) 2020-41 towards a bigger and bolder region with a brighter future for residents for many years to come.
The REDS outlines a plan to diversify the region’s economy, cultivate growth opportunities, and invigorate the local job market. Specifically, identifying opportunities to best support the development of existing businesses and attract new investment, transforming our region into a nimble and resilient powerhouse.
Chief Economic Development Officer, Paul Martins will translate the vision of the REDS, explain the four pillars to success, deep dive into the key initiatives and discuss how as we as unified business partners can work collaboratively to turn a vision into reality.
