Thriving communities

Community issues are also business and economic issues, and policy must address these challenges for both social and economic outcomes.

Our advocacy helps Queensland businesses succeed while delivering lasting benefits for communities. For example, our 2026/27 Queensland Budget submission calls for Government to address critical issues – such as housing, community safety, and mental health.

We also identified priority infrastructure projects with the highest business, community and economic benefits through consultation with local business chambers and Queensland businesses.
