Events
All events connected to projects need to include an invitation and speaking opportunity for the Minister—emailed to tourism@ministerial.qld.gov.au at least 8 weeks prior to the proposed event dates. At a minimum, you are required to hold an official opening where you will need to have:
- completed your facility upgrades/development
- have a plaque created for the opening ceremony (if relevant to the project).
- erected an acknowledgment sign
Contact your allocated sport and recreation contact to help plan your event.
