The Western Queensland Alliance of Councils (WQAC) is a collaboration between the three regional organisations of councils in Western Queensland – North West Regional Organisation of Councils (NWQROC), Remote Area Planning and Development Board (RAPAD), and South West Regional Organisation of Councils (SWQROC).
Our three bodies represent 22 Councils across the north west, central west and south west of Queensland. This area covers 60 per cent of the State and makes a major contribution to the economies of Queensland and Australia.
