On 21st August, 2024 Queensland’s best and brightest regional mayors and experts discussed priority growth and investment opportunities and challenges for regional Queensland. They highlighted the vital role that our regions play in Queensland's success across all industries.
A key takeaway was the necessity for all levels of government to continue listening to and acting on the needs of regional Queensland. Our regions have consistently delivered exceptional value to our state, and with the right support, they will continue to do so.
We extend our thanks to everyone who contributed to this event, particularly our passionate panel of mayors, university leaders, and private sector representatives, including:
💡 Professor Helen Bartlett, Vice-Chancellor and President, University of the Sunshine Coast
💡 Professor Simon Biggs, Vice-Chancellor and President, James Cook University
💡 Cr Matt Burnett, Mayor, Gladstone Regional Council
💡 Brian Restall, Managing Director, Regional Leader Australia, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners
