Barcaldine Regional Council has been selected as one of six regions from across Queensland to be part of the Clean Growth Choices program. The Clean Growth Choices program aims to help councils and communities to grow their resilience and sustainability.
As an initiative created and funded by the State Government in conjunction with the University of Southern Queensland, CSIRO and James Cook University Australia, the Barcaldine Region is in a prime position to capitalise on this unique opportunity for our entire community.
The story of Derby is one of a kind - there is no other place that encompasses such history and economic turnaround:
“It has generated 100+ jobs in the community through private business expansion on the back of council providing this infrastructure with 1000’s of tourists now coming to Derby as a result”. Tim Watson General Manager - Dorset Council Tasmania
Barcaldine Regional Council is working with Barcaldine School Leaders and Tim Watson from Blue Derby to take this model and evolve it for outback conditions. Put simply replace mountain bikes with motorbikes and Glen Jacobs with our own Rod Faggotter and offer a world class purpose built motorbike tourism experience.
