It's the People That Make It

When you ask locals and visitors what makes the Western Downs region so special, the answer is usually the same:

It's the people that make it.

In 2020 Western Downs Regional Council embarked in a bold initiative to consult with industry, stakeholders, residents and visitors across the region to discover what they think makes it a great place.

The results overwhelmingly pointed to one conclusion, that even a region rich and diverse in spectacular natural attractions and unique experiences, it’s the people that they fall in love with.

Expert consultants worked carefully to create an identity and a brand which captures the qualities of the people of Western Downs:

Spirited | Charming | Down to earth | Outdoorsy | Hard working

 

Get Involved!

Its-the-People-That-Make-it-Westerndownsqueensland-Feature-169x300.jpg At the centre of this campaign is an understanding that it’s the locals, the businesses, event committees and community organisations that make the Western Downs a vibrant and attractive place to visit and therefore they deserve some ownership of this new tourism brand.
