Regional Community Forums

2024–2025 Regional Community Forums

Regional Community Forums are held across seven Queensland regions and bring together appointed community members, regional stakeholders, senior Queensland Government officers and members of the Queensland Parliament.

Held each quarter, the Forums provide a dynamic platform for conversation and connection, building stronger relationships between regional and rural communities and the Queensland Government.

On 6 November 2023, the Office for Rural and Regional Queensland (ORRQ) held the final round of 2022–2023 Regional Community Forums.

Expressions of interest for 2024–2025 Regional Community Forum membership were open from 6 November to 1 December 2023.

We will announce new 2024–2025 Regional Community Forum members in each of the seven regions in early 2024.
