LNP meets in Bundaberg to talk tactics

State and federal Liberal National Party MPs will gather in Bundaberg this weekend as the party works on its strategy for regional Queensland ahead of the next state election.

The LNP is dealing with the threat of One Nation, with Pauline Hanson's party polling well in many regional centres of the state that have traditionally been Nationals strongholds.

But Queensland LNP leader Tim Nicholls says the meeting has been planned for a long time and they're focusing on the needs of regional people, not Ms Hanson.

"It's about making sure we're out in the regions, we're talking with Queenslanders, and we're reflecting their concerns in the policies we prepare in the lead-up to the next election," Mr Nicholls said in Bundaberg on Friday.

Both the LNP and Labor have been blitzing regional areas of the state since the start of the year, with the election due by early 2018 but expected to be called in the second half of this year.

In addition to Saturday's policy meeting, which will also involve grassroots members, the LNP shadow cabinet will hold a community forum in Bundaberg on Sunday.
