Critical Horizons Regional Futures Series


The Critical Horizons Regional Futures 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.

Guest presenters including 'beyondblue' chairman and former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett, Lieutenant General John Sanderson and strategist and futurist Dr Peter Ellyard were among experts who spoke of the importance of leadership during the event.

Organised by the South West Development Commission, the conference at Bunbury's Edith Cowan University over June 2 and 3 invited people to think about the future and what they would like the South West region to be like in the years ahead.
