The Regional Australia Institute and the Business Council of Australia have held a series of regional consultations on unlocking economic prosperity.
The BCA has used the forums to better understand how the BCA Action Plan for Enduring Prosperity relates to local economic development.
Forums have been held in Alice Springs, Port Hedland, Townsville, Wollongong and Geelong.
The forums help regions identify their competitive advantages and create a platform for regional voices to be heard at a federal level.
Selected reportage and coverage of the consultations can be accessed here.
