The 2022 Queensland Regional Symposium, ‘Regional Futures: A Collaborative Perspective’ take place on Darumbal Country, in the coastal town of Yeppoon in our great Central Queensland Region. The name Yeppoon is believed to mean “the place where the waters meet” in the Darumbal language – a most suitably named location for our symposium, which will explore ideas and possibilities presented by the past, present and emerging best practice examples in the regions.
