A warm welcome in Winton for our first in-person board meeting of 2023. 🦕 A great opportunity to meet face to face plus get a taste of another part of our region. How good is a visit to the iconic Australian Age of Dinosaurs to wrap up day one of our 3 day agenda?!

RAPAD through the @wqldcouncils was represented at the Qld Housing Roundtable last week ahead of the Housing Summit next month. Western Qld presents its own unique challenges when it comes to housing and we’re pleased to see this and our work so far recognised.
