As we are well into a new year, we would like to take this opportunity to celebrate, thank and acknowledge the efforts of the Newman community, stakeholders, organisations and industry for their passion, dedication, and collaboration in driving transformational change in Newman in 2022.
Newman Futures is, and always will be a collective that works collaboratively with the community to identify opportunities and implement locally-led solutions. The efforts of this collective have resulted in creating a shared vision of an inclusive economy and opportunities for all, improving the landscape of the Newman community to create strong foundations for a sustainable future.
Launched in 2019, Newman Futures aims to build a diverse and sustainable economy that is inclusive to all.
We know that a strong and connected community is essential to drive economic growth and diversity. A community where everyone feels included, valued and walks together with mutual respect is one that has the power to create transformational change in social and economic development.
The strength of Newman Futures lies in common agreements and the commitment of stakeholders to work together to embrace opportunities.
