A warm welcome in Winton for our first in-person board meeting of 2023. 🦕

A great opportunity to meet face to face plus get a taste of another part of our region.

How good is a visit to the iconic Australian Age of Dinosaurs to wrap up day one of our 3 day agenda?!

Western Qld presents its own unique challenges when it comes to housing and we’re pleased to see this and our work so far recognised.
