Partnership Prospectus
CEO Foreword
Events are at the heart of CHDC’s mission to advocate for a sustainable region and economic growth.
We strive to deliver a variety of workshops, forums and networking opportunities for local business and industry to build their skills, enhance their knowledge and expand their working relationships.
As you’ll see in the following pages, we’ve got the mix right for 2023. From the Economic Futures Forum to the Business Excellence Awards, and much more, it’s going to be a remarkable year.
You’re invited to join us on the ride. Partnerships are not just critical to the success of our events, they also elevate awareness of your organisation by putting its name in front of a new or larger audience.
This Partnership Prospectus details a range of packages to suit all budgets. Complete the booking form with your chosen package or get in touch to request a package tailored for you. Thank you for your support and we look forward to working alongside you in the year ahead.

Queensland Resources Council
Queensland Resources Council (QRC) is very pleased to have a chance to participate in any of CHDC’s high quality events. The Central Highlands is a really important region for the resources industry, so we’re always keen to hear an update on the region’s prospects, delivered in the region by the people who know it best - CHDC. In QRC’s experience, CHDC has the happy knack of knitting together a great line up of speakers and starting constructive discussions between different groups of regional stakeholders. That’s exactly what CHDC’s Economic Futures Forum delivered in spades. I’d highly recommend this event.”
Andrew Barger Policy Director, EconomicsFairbairn Bakeries
We have been to the past few CHDC forums and have found they gave a great insight to where our region is growing. They provided updates on what large investors are doing, and residential and commercial markets. This information is invaluable and helps us to make educated decisions when investing in our own business, so that we can keep up with the region’s demands.”
Kelly Bunyoung Chief Executive Officer & Director4t Consultants
Once again, the CHDC team have delivered a valuable event. The Economic Futures Forum was an opportunity to connect with business leaders, government and industry representatives from across our region and beyond. Gatherings such as this are critical to our region, to showcase our business opportunities and to find out what is going on that will benefit us. The CHDC team have an excellent reputation for delivering quality events, and this one was no exception.”
