CQU and CQ Area Consultative Committee unite 

Published on 13 March, 2003 

Central Queensland University and the Central Queensland Area Consultative Committee will sign an agreement Friday 14 March to work together on advancing the development of Central Queensland.

PhotoID:574 The Memo of Understanding – signed by CQU Vice Chancellor and President Glenice Hancock and CQACC Chairman Kym Mobbs – calls for both organisations to cooperate on economic, social, and cultural development of the region.

“The Consultative Committee is uniquely positioned to identify opportunities,” explained Professor Hancock.

“There is a wealth of knowledge at CQU. We will work together to bring those experts and capabilities to our communities and businesses,” said Mr Mobbs.

One area already identified for collaboration is a wastewater project to study the possible reuse of city effluent.

“This really is one-of-a-kind and it strengthens useful ties with CQU, allowing the strengths of the uni to flow into the community,” said Mr Mobbs.
