Strategic Plan 2007-2011
The 2008 Annual Report provides an overview of the University’s performance
in reaching goals set out in the Strategic Plan 2007-2011. In 2008 the University
Council adopted a new Strategic Plan through to 2012 which came into effect on 1
January 2009.
Note: The Strategic Plan 2007-2011 was created before the University adopted the
CQUniversity Australia brand. Thus it is described here in this context as Central Queensland
University (or CQU).
