What is Better Together?
Imagine a community where all people are able to learn, work and play together.....be part of the change.
Caboolture still has the feel of a country town but the facilities of a big city. There is so much happening every week. The beach or the mountains are within a short drive and sport is played on fields around the district every weekend. People travel from all around Australia to go to Caboolture’s many festivals.
Caboolture is renowned for its friendliness. Many residents work and volunteer in the area and are involved in sports, recreation and service clubs.
The Better Together campaign has been initiated to ensure that all residents have the opportunities to be involved in the social, economic and civic activities this great place has to offer.
Some residents can find it difficult to access and join in community activities. The main objective of the Better Together campaign is to make it easier for people from all walks of life to take up their role in the activities of the district. Everyone has gifts and abilities to offer the community and the community is a better place when everyone participates.
| As members of Better Together: We acknowledge and celebrate the diversity of all people and respect their voice and life experience. Ensuring that all residents have the opportunity to participate in the social, economic and civil life of our community. |
