Let's Chat!
You can help create a thriving future for the Gladstone Region.
As a community-led initiative, GRT belongs to all of us in the Gladstone Region. Our vision, goals, and actions are those of our community, informed by many voices through ongoing conversations.
We use local data and community stories to understand our focus areas and measure our progress towards improved community wellbeing.
To ensure the whole of the community’s voice is heard, GRT are regularly chatting with community members about life in the Gladstone Region.
Community are invited to share their views on local priorities to support the development of a Gladstone Social Plan and Gladstone Region Wellbeing Action Plan for Children and Families aimed at improving long-term community wellbeing.
A simple survey has made it easy for locals to share their voice, asking four key questions that focus on personal wellbeing goals.
Share your stories and experiences to guide the ideas and solutions shaping the Gladstone Region.
