Western queensland DOING MORE FOR QUEENSLAND AND AUSTRALIA
We back ourselves; we’re good at what we do. We could be better than good; we could be great given improved tools for the job.
We have unique needs, but we always deliver for Queensland and Australia even with our small population.
Our community and economy require a different perspective, one that meets the desire of a region passionate about growth.
Congratulations to Anthony Albanese MP our next Prime Minister.
We look forward to working with the new Australian Government to deliver on the Australian Labor Party's commitments to Western Queensland and continuing to grow opportunities to Invest in the West to make our region, and in turn the nation, even stronger.

We have come together under the banner of the Western Queensland Alliance of Councils to represent the views of our 22 councils on matters of common concern in the State’s far west. These matters are highlighted in our Election Platform and represent the most significant region wide barriers to growth and development as well as those of specific importance to our individual regions.
We are seeking from the parties and candidates contesting this election their commitment to supporting WQAC address these challenges as well as build on existing opportunities across Western Queensland.
