Attention Women of all Ages Living in Rural Queensland

In March 2008, the Premier Anna Bligh announced plans for three annual regional women’s symposiums beginning this year. The 2008 Rural Women’s Symposium will be held during August in Roma.

The Rural Women’s Symposium is a Blueprint for the Bush initiative organised by Queensland Government and Blueprint for the Bush partners.

The theme for the 2008 symposium is:

‘Liveability – A Women’s View’

There are a few ways to get involved. We are hosting local discussions in your area on:
Thursday 5 June 2008
10am-12:30pm
Brothers Leagues Club,
Cnr Ernest and Campbell St, Innisfail

Please RSVP by 3 June 2008 to Penny or Virginia, Blueprint for the Bush Office on 4096 7704 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

The purpose of the symposium is to develop ideas and create solutions to improve the ‘liveability’ of rural communities for women.

The Symposium is first and foremost about YOU, as women, living in rural communities. We want to find out what aspects of life in a rural community you think help keep women in rural communities and what attracts women to move and stay in rural areas.

Currently we are looking for viewpoints and suggestions from local women in rural communities to shape the 2008 Symposium. As rural women you know most about this topic – so we’re asking you to help us!
