National Regional and Economic Development Summit 2024

The SEGRA Foundation intends to continually improve and deliver its best by raising the bar every year with its National event. In 2024 attendees will be experiencing the Busselton, Bunbury and Margaret River region through multiple formats and not all in one spot! We will be walking the city, out on the road, meeting the leaders from the region and experiencing how they have contributed to sustainable regional development.

When we are all together the Foundation will host a series of short yet impactful SEGTALKS on Arts and Culture / Regional Development / Technology / Climate and Risk / Carbon and Environment / Water / Closing the Gap / Community and Livability at various venues in the Busselton CBD and surrounding area.

This years Summit is hosted by Regional Development Australia South West and supported by the City of Busselton. The Summit provides a unique opportunity for all sections of the Australian community, rural and urban, to explore the key issues affecting regional, rural and remote Australia and be part of providing positive sustainable outcomes to ensure future prosperity.

An event schedule is available here to help you plan logistics and accommodation, as well as a map of the venues being used.
