Your Conference Host: The City of Mandurah

Message from the Mayor

Located a one hour drive south of Perth, Western Australia, the City of Mandurah has experienced exceptional growth over the last three decades with an astounding 1500 per cent population surge between the 1971 and 2001 Censuses.

This trend has continued with no signs of slowing, making Mandurah the fastest growing regional city in Australia.

As hosts of the 2nd Australian Regional Economies Conference we invite you to experience first hand a community committed to sustainability and learn how Mandurah addresses the daily challenges of achieving triple bottom line outcomes together with its innovative and proactive READY-FIRE-AIM approach to economic development.

Internationally and nationally recognised speakers will contribute to this premier event, building on the successful outcomes of the inaugural Noosa Conference in 2003. The scene is set for an exciting range of experiences not to be missed.

I look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful city.

Keith Holmes, JP
