The Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA will hold Queensland’s Success Story – the Peter Beattie Formula, a corporate luncheon, on Friday October 29 at the Chamber’s function centre.
As the Premier of Queensland for the past six years Mr Beattie has overseen exceptional economic growth and development in the State and over the past decade the Queensland economy has grown faster than any other Australian State or Territory.
The event aims to explore the current political landscape and identify future opportunities for states like Western Australia and Queensland.
Both states show that they are leading the nation’s job market, having recorded their lowest unemployment rates on record.
Mr Beattie’s strategy has been to turn Queensland into a "smart state" by encouraging investment, refocusing the education system, skilling the workforce, facilitating research and development and creating employment in high tech industries.
Mr Beattie has been an advocate for international trade as a means of employment since being elected and he has led many trade missions, most recently visiting Japan and India.
Registrations for the event can be made with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for members $82.50 and non-members $123.75.
