Attend a Regional Parliament

The Queensland Parliament holds a sitting of Parliament in a regional area once every term (three years).

The first regional sitting occurred in Townsville between 3 and 5 September 2002. More than 8,000 Queenslanders attended this historic event to view parliamentary proceedings and listen to discussion and debate. There were also public displays explaining the workings of government and how people can get involved in decision-making.
