NORTH WEST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL ORGANISATION OF COUNCILS

The North West Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (NWQROC) was established by the nine councils of the North West Queensland region in 2013 to advocate and deliver on agreed priorities for the region.

NWQROC plays a vital role in working with councils, industry, representative bodies and all levels of government to advocate for the region – shaping strategic plans, promoting its assets, attracting investment and ensuring sustainable development across our diverse communities.

Our work is shaped by our mission: to make North West Queensland a region attractive for people and businesses to live, work and invest.
