About the series


The Critical Horizons seminar series examines emerging global trends and how they might affect regional communities in the South West Region of Western Australia.

It’s our way of helping South West residents become better prepared for the future.

The South West Development Commission with its partners City of Bunbury and Edith Cowan University South West Campus invite you to participate in the Critical Horizons Regional Futures Series.

Our conferences and seminars help participants with local planning and decision making and are a must for decision makers in all areas.
