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.
