This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Regional Development Australia CEOs Sonja Johnson from RDA Tropical North, Tony Gambling from RDA Central and Western Queensland, and Robert Cocco from RDA Greater Whitsundays right here in Townsville for a two-day visit 🌴 During their stay, we had the chance to showcase some of our city's outstanding infrastructure, thriving businesses, and upcoming projects. We took them on a tour of the Queensland Country Bank Stadium and the North Queensland Cowboys' Community, Training and High-Performance Centre, for a firsthand look at the cutting-edge facilities. We also visited the Port of Townsville, where we heard from their team about ongoing initiatives and future projects – and how the North West plays a pivotal role in the growth of our region 💪Beyond exploring our wonderful city, we engaged in meaningful discussions to tackle the pressing issues that Queensland is facing in population and skills attraction, housing, connectivity, advocacy gaps, transportation infrastructure, water resources, and workforce planning. As four RDAs in the Northern RDA Alliance, this collaboration is invaluable. We are committed to fostering ongoing cooperation, as we recognise the immense potential in learning from one another and harnessing the strengths of each of our regions.Huge thanks to Sonja, Rob, and Tony for visiting our #rda!#rdanorthernalliancer#collaborationl#economicgrowtho#townsvilleshinesiRegional Development Australia Tropical NorthiRegional Development Australia Greater WhitsundayshRegional Development Australia - Central and Western QueenslandQueensland ...
