Future a focus of conference

Bunbury city councillor Joel McGuinness and chief executive officer Andrew Brien will represent the city at a conference focusing on economic growth later this month.

Both will attend the 2016 Sustainable Economic Growth for Regional Australia ‘Nationally Stronger Regions – Realising the Potential’ conference in Albany on October 26 to 28.

The conference provides a forum to discuss issues, options and solutions for the future between more than 200 delegates from across the country.

In a report, Mr Brien said the conference would enable further insight on key matters the council was considering or may face in the future, in particular development of the Regional Growth Plan.
