Council Of Mayors (Seq)

The Council of Mayors (South East Queensland) was established as an independent political advocacy organisation. We represent the interests of one of Australia's fastest growing regions – South East Queensland. We are Australia’s largest regional advocacy organisation, representing the one in seven Australians who call SEQ home. The membership of the Council of Mayors (SEQ) consists of the 11 Mayors representing the Councils of SEQ: Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Redland, Lockyer Valley, Noosa, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Toowoomba, Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast. With five out of the 10 largest Councils in Australia in SEQ, the region is no longer just a series of disparate geographic areas but a region that, in practical terms, functions as a single metropolitan area. Our mission is to consistently deliver better regional funding, policy and collaborative outcomes for the Mayors, Councils and communities of South East Queensland. This is achieved by: - Advocating for a better resourced SEQ region with world standard infrastructure to support economic development. - Influencing other levels of government to ensure that their policy and legislative positions support SEQ regional growth. - Collaborating in effective and innovative cooperative programs across the SEQ region.
