State Treasurer Cameron Dick has described the Sunshine Coast as a “Queensland powerhouse for industry and innovation’ as he prepares to speak with business owners at a special lunch.
The Treasurer will join the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce at the Events Centre on Thursday, June 24.
Mr Dick said he was looking forward to talking with Sunshine Coast residents about the recently handed-down 2021-22 Budget and how it would benefit them.
“This budget will propel the next phase of our COVID economic recovery plan, boosting businesses, strengthening frontline services and creating more jobs,” Mr Dick said.
“Through initiatives like our $1.84 billion Queensland Jobs Fund and record investments in health and social housing, we’re making sure Queensland’s economic recovery is supercharged.
