Victorian Regional Engagement Forum
In step with the Community
A one-day forum held in Bendigo on 8th September 2004, brought together the state ministers for Innovation, Industry and Regional Development, and for Education Services, post-secondary education leaders, industry leaders and community representatives. The forum focussed on initiatives that have direct benefits for regional areas. These included acknowledging the community as valued stakeholders, establishing networks and building their cooperative value, exploring the economic value in regional infrastructure, developing businesses that are owned by and service the regional community, and adopting a 'whole of region' approach to business development.
