Affordable, quality housing is essential for our community's stability and growth. We urgently call for targeted investments in housing infrastructure to meet current and future demand.Youth Development

Our youth are the future of the region. Expanding youth programs and development opportunities will help them contribute meaningfully to our economy and society.Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

We need greater funding for place-based mental health services to ensure everyone has access to the support they need, reducing suicide rates and improving overall well-being.Integrated Sustainability
"Harmonising our region and its valuable resources – a framework for future prosperity."
Sustainable development is vital for balancing economic growth with environmental stewardship, ensuring the long-term prosperity of our region.
