Regional City Development Conference

"There appears to be a misperception in capital cities about the extent of urban development beyond the metropolitan boundary. It must be recognized that cities are not confined to metropolitan areas." Government of Victoria

With recent events in Canberra thrusting regional city development back into the national spotlight, the time is ripe for a comprehensive national discussion on the ability of our regional centres to flourish in the 21st Century.

As the definitive nation building exercise of our time, our regional development objectives will be underpinned by the provision of industrial, education, transport and health infrastructure through farsighted policy directions at both the federal and state level.

The creation of regional, urban destinations also provides an ambitious vision of the future for the vigorous current debates on population, water management and housing affordability.

And with so many issues coming into focus, Informa’s groundbreaking 2010 event will facilitate an all inclusive discussion on the major issues including:

• Demographics
• Mining
• Education
• Health
• Telecommunications
• Transport
• Agriculture
• Water
• Urban culture

With proposed presentations from the high profile regional innovators such as Bob Katter and Tony Windsor, as well as some of Australia’s foremost demographic commentators, this year’s event is placed on the cutting edge of policy development.

Join your peers and a wide range of leaders in regional development to discuss how future regional and economic development policy can best be formulated and implemented.

Effective regional development requires all stakeholders to work productively in partnership with one another. This focused two day event will gather together key representatives from state, territory and local governments along with regional development organisations and community groups to examine what approaches work best and how to continue driving forward the regional growth agenda.
