WA's population is set to double to 4.9 million by 2050, and with Perth gaining at least 2,000 residents a fortnight, government have implemented a number of initiatives to support this growth.

This seminar will provide you with a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding current regional growth strategies and how to position yourself and your organisation to take advantage of the opportunities they present over the next 25 years.

Following the keynote addresses, a panel of leaders from government and industry will provide their insights on this key subject and participate in a hypothetical case study predicting regional WA's future.
