Have your say

In the centre column, under the Have your say headline, you can see links to the most recent proposals (called consultations) where the community is invited to provide their views.

Featured stories

The availability of services, rebates, guides, and more, is always changing on the Queensland government website.

A useful way to keep an eye on what’s new is the Featured stories panel. This is at the top of the Queensland government home page and is coloured green and white.

You can scroll through the featured stories by clicking the black arrow on the right side of the panel. The large picture at the top of the website will change, and show a summary of the story. When you find a story that interests you, click the Read more link below the summary.
