Book your places now – the Bush Councils Convention Program has just been released!
With an impressive speaker line-up of four State Government Ministers that will participate in a
dedicated Q&A session at the conclusion of day one (Ministers Crisafulli, McVeigh, Cripps and
Emerson), Assistant Minister Ted Malone, two Director-Generals, other industry associations and
colleagues in Local Government, this inaugural Bush Councils Convention is not to be missed!
Held in Longreach, this Convention is the first of its type to focus specifically on issues faced by
regional, rural and remote councils, such as natural resource management, regional and economic
development, native title, and infrastructure planning, funding and delivery. How can your council
leverage these opportunities for your community, on the back of a new political agenda in Queensland
that focuses on empowerment, red tape reduction and regional collaboration?
Full program details, jam-packed with information and speakers is now available, and registration is
now open online.
Where: Longreach Civic Centre, Longreach
Dates: 31 July – 2 August 2013
In the spirit of the bush, the Convention will also provide ample opportunity for delegates to enjoy
country hospitality, including a Convention dinner on 1 August, together with a range of other
networking activities and entertainment.
