PREMIER Annastacia Palaszczuk and Whitsunday MP Jason Costigan have clashed in parliament ahead of the Community Cabinet visit to Proserpine this weekend.

The Premier signalled renewable energy investment would be a key issue raised at the meeting - an investment she claimed the LNP opposition was not committed to.

"We will be looking at where the solar farms are going to be and what jobs that is going to create,” she told the State Parliament last week.

"We are going to put it to the Whitsunday region and ask them whether they support these regional jobs.

"We are seeing an attack by those opposite when it comes to solar and solar users.”

Mr Costigan, however, said the Community Cabinet meeting was an attempt by the Queensland Government to cover up its lack of interest in the region.

"We have been neglected by ministers right across the board since the change of government,” he said.

"I can't remember the Premier being in Airlie Beach and I know the Tourism Minister has made only one appearance in the last 20 months.

"Their focus is on getting rid of me because they aren't happy I beat them at the election.”

The Community Cabinet will be hosted by Proserpine State High School, starting on Sunday, October 23, at 1pm.

Private deputations with ministers will take place from 2.15-4.30pm, with the event to wrap up on Monday, October 24.

Whitsunday Mayor Andrew Willcox said the council had several deputations planned covering issues such as the flood-proofing of Hamilton Plains and the notorious T-junction there.

"Whether we put a roundabout there or what we do, we're looking for a solution,” he said.

Cr Willcox said using local tradespeople for State Government contracts was something he also wanted to discuss, as well as support for establishing recreational facilities such as a caravan park and on-water activities at the Peter Faust Dam.

"And we're pitching to them the Cannonvale Potable Water Scheme, which is an increased-size pipeline going from our coastal water treatment plant to the beach, and then turning the existing pipeline around so that rather than discharging our recycled water into the sea, we're sending it back inland so our farmers can use it to water the cane,” he said.
