The Gladstone Region is coming together in February 2026 to celebrate our community’s collaborative spirit and innovative efforts through local stories that showcase the strengths of our community working together.
Our stories have power - they connect us, transform our ways of thinking and doing, and ignite courage for action. Now is our chance to inspire each other with local examples of community-driven excellence, progress and learning!
‘Together in Action’ is more than an event, it's a movement of shared community pride and a celebration of successful cross-sector partnerships within our community.
Our community’s vision is
opportunity, equity, and quality of life for everyone.
Everyone in the Gladstone Region is invited to come together and celebrate the collaborative spirit and innovative efforts that are creating positive change for our region.
Be inspired by a collection of local stories from local change makers and people with lived experience.
Create new connections for meaningful action, to improve long-term wellbeing of our local children and families.
