Bolder: the planned creation of 100,000 new jobs and 16,000 new businesses by 2041, and a focus on ensuring our residents have the necessary skills and knowledge to access these jobs.
Brighter: our region’s future will be brighter, by focusing on our growth and talent and making Moreton Bay region one of the top 10 regional knowledge and innovation hubs in Australia.
Priority industries
