Background

In April 2019, Scenic Rim Regional Council appointed Lucid Economics to assist in the development of a regional prosperity (economic development) strategy for the region. The intent of the strategy was to establish sustainable economic growth for business, create strong local employment opportunities and high performing industries as well as provide a suitable lifestyle for residents and visitor experiences.

The strategy complements and aligns with existing plans, objectives and strategies.

Consultation with Council officers and elected officials, local Chambers of Commerce and industry representatives and other important stake holders such as State and Commonwealth Government departments, was undertaken during the development of the strategy.
