Regional areas within Queensland account for 1.7 million square kilometres across the state. They are home to a network of regional economies and have strengths in industries including agriculture, resources, and tourism.

Given the importance of ports and water supply in Queensland’s regions, these reports will include an analysis of the port and water entities’ financial performance and position.

These reports will analyse data on state and local government service delivery and support for Queensland’s regions, and consider other regional growth and sustainability measures, including employment and economic activity.

In 2023–24, this report will include an assessment of governance at key regional entities. Each year our reports will build on focus areas from our previous reports on Queensland’s regions.
