The Queensland Coastal Conference 2009 will mark the second State coastal conference to be held in Queensland and will provide an ideal opportunity for coastal planners and managers, social planners, community groups, engineers, scholars, the tourism and recreation industry and the development industry to share ideas and workshop solutions to assist in maintaining the values of Queensland's coastal landscapes. The theme "Waves of Change" aims to reflect the need for the immediacy of coastal issues to be recognised and addressed in a new way to avoid past mistakes and work towards a sustainable future.
The Queensland Coastal Conference will assist coastal planners and managers, and other decision makers to enhance and maintain momentum for coastal sustainability in Queensland.

Workshop Concepts
Another important element of the Queensland Coastal Conference 2009, to compliment the presentations, is the workshop series.

After this time you will be required to submit a 'paper' outlining the workshop design and content in a similar manner and in the same timeframe as for the submission of conference papers.
