We will also be asking the big questions facing regional Australia – the role of the regions in the new Federal Government’s agenda, how best to fund development in regional Australia, how to improve connectivity and how do we protect and value our natural assets?
We are an independent and non-partisan network of Australians who voice, advocate for and advance the long term interests of regional Australia. Our vision is to create a connected and prosperous rural, remote and regional Australia.
Celebrating 25yrs in 2021, SEGRA is an annual conference that aims to assist regional, rural and remote Australia to source and identify the techniques, skills and issues they need to address which will help achieve successful economic growth and development.
