Show us your love for the South West Queensland (SWQ) region by jumping onto your social media channels and sharing what our fantastic region has to offer!

The Maranoa is a dynamic and vibrant regional community in the South West of Queensland that offers a diverse range of experiences and opportunities for locals and visitors alike. Tell us about all the things you love in the Maranoa such as its natural beauty, adventures, history, arts & culture and so much more.

Create a video (between 15 seconds and 2 minutes) of why you love South West Queensland and share it using #LoveSWQ to have the chance for your content to be featured in an upcoming marketing campaign!

Here are a few easy steps to follow:

1) Follow Maranoa Regional Council on Facebook or Instagram

2) Post your video telling us why you love SWQ

3) Tag Council and use #LoveSWQ in the post caption.

This campaign is being driven by South West Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (SWQROC) as part of a wider investment and economic development initiative.

SWQROC represents six local governments of the South West Region – Maranoa Regional Council, Paroo Shire Council, Quilpie Shire Council, Bulloo Shire Council and Balonne Shire Council who are all getting behind the #LoveSWQ campaign.

Council encourages residents to get creative and involved in the #LoveSWQ campaign and embrace the great treasures of our region and community.
