TNQ Housing Summit 2024
Regional Focus and Collaboration…
In July, RDA Tropical North (RDATN), Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) and Torres Cape Indigenous Council Alliance (TCICA) brought together Federal, State and local government representatives and key regional stakeholders from the not-for-profit and private sector to seek accommodation solutions at the Tropical North Queensland Housing Summit held at The Cairns Institute, JCU.
More than 100 attendees registered to hear from government sectors and from the the not-for-profit and private sector to understand what programs were currently being delivered, planned and implemented. This was then followed by several panel discussions and workshop to identify gaps and select the top five solutions.
