Local Area Multicultural Partnerships (LAMP)
Local Area Multicultural Partnerships
LAMP is designed as a partnership strategy between the State Government and local governments to create harmonious and cohesive community relations appropriate for our diverse society.
The key objectives of LAMP are to promote positive community relations across the whole community and to facilitate improved levels of access to services, planning and consultation by diverse interest groups within the community. It works towards these objectives by supporting the leadership role of local governments in managing community relations.
Multicultural Affairs Queensland resources participating Councils to employ Community Relations Workers for three years. The workers employed under the scheme are primarily responsible for developing and implementing local community relations plans and for supporting community relations advisory committees to Council. A coordination role is also funded within the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ)
