PRACTICAL REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Starfire Solutions Pty Ltd is a regional development consultancy company based in Bundaberg and with offices in Yeppoon and Ipswich, Queensland. We assist individuals and organisations to realise their desires to make regional communities even greater places to work and live.

Towards this vision, we provide practical planning, management and advice in regional economic development – including business, arts, cultural and tourism development expertise.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Starfire Solutions is built on a strong platform of community engagement and all of our work reflects our ethos of engaging with a range of sectors to achieve sustainable outcomes – three tiers of government, industry, media, education and community.

Starfire Solutions has proven its claim as ‘specialists in community engagement’ in virtually all of its projects to date. This has been demonstrated by Director Neil McPhillips’ ANZRSAI Regional Development Practitioner Award of Excellence 2006 - Highly Commended Award (ANZRSAI: Australia & New Zealand Regional Science Association International Inc).

ETHOS

Our business ethos is built around the great qualities of regional people:

• Honesty,
• Resourcefulness,
• Reliability and, above all,
• Practicality.

In summary, Starfire Solutions is a regional Queensland company with an extensive work history throughout the three tiers of government, the business and community sectors. We have a balanced approach to development work, believing in the equal importance of social, economic, cultural and business development processes. Our collaborative and diplomatic consultation processes have been proven through a range of contracts and we believe that our work in this area represents best practice.
