An agenda for sustainable growth
“Enterprise North ... has a strong voice, a large network of contacts and an exemplary vision...” Coral K Partners
As a Cairns organisation focused on development and advocacy, we will need to be nimble enough to respond to the various challenges faced by the region, as they present themselves.
In order to do this we believe we must focus on sustainable population growth, encouraging governments at all levels to participate and partner up to this objective. Consistent population growth supported by appropriate levels of planning and the necessary investment in infrastructure will be necessary.
Our focus will be to the North, East and West, bridging geopolitical divides in line with our core principle of flexibility. In other words, our agenda may change from time to time. However the emphasis on the key economic pillars around which we believe our City and regional economies will grow, shall remain relatively constant.
