With the theme ‘regional minds, regional policy, regional outcomes’, the Building Regional Australia 2013 Summit to be held April 9-11 in Armidale is an opportunity to examine leading issues for regional Australia. Source: Timberbiz
The summit will also create a platform to draw attention to regional Australia as the engine room of our nation.
Managing rapid growth in Australian capital cities is a formidable task and places heavy demand on resources, often at the expense of regional areas. In light of this, the 2013 summit will highlight prospering regional communities and showcase successful strategies being implemented in terms of regional development policy.
The event will be held at the Armidale Ex-Services Club and focus on building momentum in the lead up to the next Federal election.
The objectives are to:
• Focus on policy agenda for Regional Australia
• Provide federal, state and local politicians with valuable insight into where they can be driving new initiatives
• Motivate regional leaders (ensuring local politicians are aware of pertinent issues for regional Australia)
• Showcase best-practice examples that can be adapted by other regional communities
• Highlight methods for communities to develop infrastructure partnerships
• Showcase communities demonstrating leadership in terms of industry and mining (providing jobs and services to the regions they service)
• Provide networking opportunities.
