CQUniversity is co-presenting a conference on Sustainable Development in Resource-Intensive Regions, which will explore economic opportunities and their social impact in regional Australia.

This event is likely to be of interest to industry, mining and resource sector representatives as well as union leaders, academics and researchers focused on the social impacts of mining and resource economics.
