A passionate educator, campaigner and speaker together with a southeast Queensland council have been announced as the winners of the LGAQ annual award for local leadership in preventing DFV.

LGAQ has welcomed an announcement of a further $300 million for the Works for Queensland program over the next three years.

A journalist whose coverage helped secure better health services across regional Queensland has been named the winner of the Bean Lockyer Ticehurst Award for Excellence in Regional Journalism. 

Critical issues from fair funding, housing, planning and homelessness to the rising cost of providing roads and rubbish collection are all high on the agenda for the LGAQ’s 127th Annual Conference.

The long-anticipated pathway connects the Cloncurry township and the new Chinaman Creek Dam Recreation Area.

The Bunya Mountains has long been a place for nature lovers to explore, with wonderful walking trails traversing through rainforest, grasslands, open forests and woodlands.
