      <image:caption>Our Leadership Group delegation was pleased to meet with Leeanne Enoch MP, Minister for Communities and Housing, and Minister for Digital Economy. The Western Queensland Alliance of Councils has been hard at work developing Local Housing Action Plans for each of our 22 local government areas, undertaken in partnership with the Queensland Government to tackle housing challenges in our region. We provided an update to the Minister on their development, insights from the process and some of the local housing solutions that will meet the individual needs of local communities. Connectivity in our region was also on the agenda with discussions on WQAC's Digital Connectivity Blueprint and the Queensland Government’s Digital Infrastructure Plan. Many thanks to the Minister and her team for taking the time to meet with us today. We hope to welcome the Minister to Western Queensland in September for WQAC's 2023 Assembly in Winton.</image:caption>
