Regional drought resilience program planning — Maryborough
2025-11-18 09:00 - 12:30 | Carriers Arms Hotel, Maryborough, 405 Alice Street, Maryborough, Queensland, 4650, Australia
Regional Development Australia invites community input to help co-design practical projects that bring the Burnett and Mary Regional Drought Resilience Plans to life. Your ideas and local knowledge will help shape initiatives that strengthen our communities.
During 2023/24, a team from UniSQ worked with Regional Development Australia Wide Bay Burnett to carry out extensive stakeholder engagement and develop the Mary and the Burnett Regional Drought Resilience Plans (RDRPs). These two RDRPs both contain Action Plans that broadly describe initiatives that stakeholders across the region recommended to lessen the impacts of drought and build future resilience. Now that the RDRPs have been formally approved by the State and the Australian governments, we move forward in developing an implementation plan and turn the broad initiatives into ‘fundable’ projects.
We invite you to work with us as interested stakeholders to gather your ideas and inputs and co-design a series of project outlines based on the broad ideas in the RDRP Action Plans. We are holding a series of short but interactive workshops to gather advice on the important steps and elements needed to most effectively implement these projects in the Mary and Burnett regions. You will also get a chance to let us know which of the projects you think are a regional priority to build resilience for future droughts.
