Our region

A VIBRANT PLACE OF OPPORTUNITY

From rugged ochre landscapes, to bustling townships, and to the sparkling waters of the Gulf of Carpentaria, our region is not only a place of natural beauty it is home to resilient communities, businesses and industries.

The NWQROC region is situated in the north west corner of Queensland with the Northern Territory and northern coastline forming part of our border. Around 29,000 people call our region home, across an area that covers close to 350,000km2 with the main industries including agriculture, mining and tourism.

NWQROC acknowledges the Traditional Owners as the original custodians of the land and water on which we rely and operate. We pay our deepest respects to their Elders past, present and future.

We acknowledge the continued cultural, social and spiritual connections with the land, sky and waters, and recognise and value that the Traditional Owner groups have cared for and protected them for thousands of generations. In the spirit of reconciliation, we remain committed to working in partnership with local Traditional Owners.
