Intergenerational Connection Challenge national convening insights (8 July 2026)

How do your region’s generations learn from each other to build something stronger? That was the question for the Intergenerational Connection National Regional Challenge conversation. The word “youth” is deliberately omitted from the challenge title to emphasise the connection between generations. This session was different from the others: a smaller, working conversation, more of a planning session for Stanthorpe’s upcoming youth “hackathon” than a broad national panel. It leaned less […]

How does your region keep its money working locally? That was the question for the Local Economy National Regional Challenge conversation. A dollar spent in a regional town can circulate through a dozen local hands, or it can leave in a single tap when it goes to a national chain, an online cart, or an investment outside the region. Keeping money working locally is about who owns the assets, who

Every region tells its story through brochures, media, festivals, and Facebook groups. These stories can share a view that may not include everyone, in which one voice is the loudest or one heritage is best known. The local media that used to help carry these stories are

How does your region keep tourists coming even when the water runs low? We put that question to the Sustainability conversation for the 2026 National Regional Challenges. The connection between drought and tourism offers an opportunity to discuss a multifaceted topic with significant impact on everyone, both within and beyond the region. The National Regional Challenges focus attention on conditions that require collective efforts more than any single organisation, policy,

Liveability Challenge national convening insights (7 July 26)

How does your region solve its own housing problem? We put that question to the first Liveability conversation of the 2026 National Regional Challenges. The conversation highlighted the systemic nature of the housing liveability challenge in regional Australia. The National Regional Challenges focus attention on conditions that require collective efforts more than any single organisation, policy, or intervention. The six challenges launched in 2026 are drawn from the two-year flagship
