Mount Isa City Council | “The new Minister for Mines and State Development came through last week, and I gave him a copy of this plan,” Mayor McGrady says. “So the new government is aware of what we’re trying to do, andwe’re all working on promoting the North West and making it a strategic part of the development of Queensland.” In the long-term, Mayor McGrady says his vision is to develop Mount Isa as a liveable country city with plenty of opportunities available to future generations. “Many of the seeds we have planted have already grown and materialized,” he says. “The city’s future is happening now. We’ve given our people the opportunity to perform and witness the best singers and ballet dancers in the world. We’ve already moved the city away from being regarded as simply a mining community. We’re now regarded as a mining and cultural community.”
