Carpentaria Shire Council has been working with the State Government to develop an Economic Diversification Strategy for the Shire. Councils Economic Development Strategy will emphasise the economic opportunities within our region and will be linked to the broader North West Queensland Economic Diversification Strategy.
Carpentaria Shire Council held a community meeting on the 26th and 27th September 2019 in Normanton and Karumba to discuss the proposed Carpentaria Shire Economic Development Strategy. Participants at the community meetings were asked to collectively reflect on the strengths, challenges and opportunities of Carpentaria Shire.
Council will establish a working committee to progress the Actions in the Action Plan which is still currently in draft until the Comittee finalise the timeframes for Action. Further information can be obtained by contacting Councils Economic Development Department.
