South West Queensland – regional digital development

The South West Queensland regional digital development area spans over 338,000 square kilometres and is home to just under 35,000 people across 7 local government areas: Balonne, Bulloo, Goondiwindi, Maranoa, Murweh, Paroo, and Quilpie. This vast region is characterised by geographic isolation, decentralised service delivery, and significant variation in digital infrastructure and community access to digital skills support.
