Far North Queensland Strategic Plan
Cairns Action for Sustainable Transport have made a substantial public submission on the draft Far North Queensland Strategic Plan and it is available for download here. The submission identifies the disconnection between the State Government's stated aims of achieving "sustainable transport" and their actual policies. It makes recommendations on adopting greenhouse reduction and mode share targets and also discusses the public transport needs of Far North Queensland.

If this is a community group, about community issues, then shouldn't you have a forum in which the community can discuss these issues? All you have here is a blog for posting the organisations own opinions and news.
If you are grass-roots group of residents (and activists!), then why are all of you committed to one agenda? Why aren't there differing viewpoints instead?
And why is it an agenda which is being adopted everywhere else in the world? Did it come from the SE Qld or not?
Why is there a group with the same name and agenda in Cairns as the SEQ grass-roots group?
The same agenda is being adopted by our governments, so what is the purpose of your group? You are lobbying for an agenda our governments have already adopted, and which our mass-media promotes.
Is the purpose of your group really just to make us think it is our idea, and for our benefit? Either that, or "residents" everywhere all had the same idea at the same time.
We do have forums and meetings.
Of course we're committed to the sustainable transport agenda.
Our members are involved directly in policy making.
You are wrong that our agenda has already been adopted by government.
This is untrue on the local, state and federal level.
