FRONTIER CQ
Power of partnerships
Frontier CQ is a roadmap that sets out how the Central Highlands can work collectively and purposefully to bring to fruition a range of innovative projects.
At its heart will be a network of business, industry, government, and community stakeholders.
This network will co-design a working approach and decision-making tools before looking at priority pieces of work that make a difference to the regional economy.
Frontier CQ has been developed by CHDC with the assistance of Acclimate Partners.
