CANEGROWERS Triennial Elections 2025

Help shape Queensland sugarcane's future

The strength of CANEGROWERS lies in its democratic foundation, where growers lead and represent their peers. Every member has the opportunity to nominate for the Triennial Elections and cast their vote - ensuring leadership reflects the diverse voices of our industry.

There is, and there should be, a place for all perspectives. Embracing diversity and inclusivity demonstrates our maturity and strengthens our capacity to grow as an industry.

This unique grower-driven system empowers us to advocate effectively, tackle challenges, and ensure the prosperity of the whole industry with a united, grower-focused approach.

Whether you’re an experienced farmer or a newcomer to the industry, if you’re passionate about shaping the future of cane growing, this is your chance to step up, be heard, and make a difference.

Nominate. Vote. Lead. Let’s grow stronger, together.

Opportunities to Shape the Future
+ -

From coordinating branch meetings to serving on District Boards, the state-wide Policy Council, the CANEGROWERS Queensland Board, or special purpose committees, there are countless ways to contribute to the success of CANEGROWERS. Each role works towards improving outcomes for cane growers and fostering the growth of our industry.

The potential for involvement is limited only by your desire and capacity. It all begins with taking the first step: putting your name forward and giving it a go. A voice unheard, an idea unspoken, or an opportunity unpursued is a loss for everyone. Your contribution matters. It all starts here.
