The Rebirth of Regional Queensland
With individual strengths and key characteristics, Queensland’s regional
transformation strategies are currently focused on a ‘place-based’
growth framework aiming to align industry development, infrastructure
needs and regional planning.
This exclusive forum brings together community, government, industry and private-sector stakeholders to provide advice on economic, social and environmental outcomes for their region.
A panel of regional experts discuss the successes and challenges of this approach, and the future strategies needed to ensure these strong, diverse economies prosper into the future.
