MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER OF QUEENSLAND

Anna Bligh

Rainbow Beach is home to a very special event for the whole family, the thoroughly enjoyable Mitsubishi Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic.

The Classic caters for people with all levels of fishing experience as well as those who just want in on the fun and is largely family oriented.

The eight-day event boasts more than $100 000 in prizes and events specially designed for kids, veterans and ladies.

The Mitsubishi Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic is proudly supported by my Government’s Queensland Events Regional Development Program.

Regional events deliver an enormous boost to local economies – bringing in business, creating jobs, attracting tourists and fuelling growth, prosperity and a tremendous sense of pride for the host communities.

Already, the funding program has provided more than $9.7 million to some 460 regional events since it started as a world-first initiative in 2001. Across the State, thousands of individuals, community groups, local councils and in some cases entire towns, put countless hours into ensuring their events are a success.

The Queensland Government is proud to share the passion and the achievements of the State’s regions through this program. Enjoy the Mitsubishi Rainbow Beach Fishing Classic, and I hope you will have an opportunity to discover more of Queensland’s great events in the coming year.
