SUMMARY:Regions Rising National Summit
DESCRIPTION:About the National Summit\nAt this year’s National Summit we’re striving to ‘shift the gaze’ and rebalance the nation. \nOur line-up of nation-shaping speakers will inspire and challenge the country to elevate the positioning and profile of regional Australia. \nRegional Australia is experiencing change like never before and is now writing a new story of optimism. More people are making a life outside our capital cities\, and many more want to. \nThe RAI commissioned market research in May 2023 and found one in five people (or 3.5 million) want to leave the cities behind. Now is the time to seriously start thinking long term about what our nation will look like\, where our citizens will live and how we might best support the societal transformation on our doorstep. \nThrough a regional lens\, the RAI Regions Rising National Summit – Shifting our Gaze – will address big national issues including: \n– Population movement and migration\n– Inclusivity and diversity\n– Energy transition and a reduced emissions future\n– Skills of the future and a fluid job market\n– Housing and health\n– National productivity growth \nThe agenda will advance the unification of our nation. \nRegional Australia will be leading the transition our nation needs to make\, so it’s more important than ever that decision makers at every level understand the opportunities and lean into a wholistic strategy that rebalances the nation.

SUMMARY:The Australian Rangeland Society 22nd Biennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:18-22 September 2023  |  Broome Civic Centre\, Western Australia \nAustralia’s rangelands cover 80% of the country and in 2016 were home to 394\,000 people. More commonly known as the ‘outback’\, rangelands support about 6\,000 pastoral businesses and many of Australia’s Indigenous people. They are culturally important to all Australians and a key component of Australia’s identity. \nThe rangelands make a significant contribution to Australia’s economy*. Annual gross revenue from mining and oil and gas is $96 billion(value added)\, tourism is $2.7 billion\, and pastoralism and agriculture combined are worth $5.5 billion. There is limited national data for other products such as bush foods and rangeland timbers although the value of kangaroo production approaches $200 million.
