Inspiration abounds at Arts on Top
A creative crowd of more than 200 people converged on the Bunya Mountains to attend the first ever Arts on Top Regional Arts Forum earlier this month.
The Western Downs Regional Council initiative kicked off on Thursday 13 May and ran over three days, celebrating and exploring the role of arts in regional communities across Queensland.
Spokesperson for Community and Cultural Development Councillor Kaye Maguire said the forum was a great success which attracted creatives from across Queensland to discuss the important topic of art in regional communities.
“We have a rich and diverse community, and this forum was fantastic in the way that it provided us with the opportunity to unite our cultural residents with creatives from right across the state to explore different ideas and perspectives”, Cr Maguire said.

Council showcases volunteering opportunities through new online platform
Western Downs Regional Council is raising the awareness of volunteering opportunities across the region through Council’s online volunteering portal.
To mark National Volunteers Week, Council has launched the online platform so the community can stay informed about the various volunteering opportunities available within Council.
Western Downs Regional Council Spokesperson for Community and Cultural Development Councillor Kaye Maguire said this platform will be a great asset in encouraging our volunteers to remain active throughout our communities.
“The Western Downs region has a large number of parks, galleries, and community facilities that thrive on the devotion and help of volunteers who put in countless hours to ensure our much-loved spaces are the best they can be for the wider community and visitors,” Cr Maguire said.
