REIQ Zone Chairs

The REIQ’s Zone Chairs are ambassadors for our profession, representing the REIQ at a local level across 16 regions throughout Queensland.

With support from the REIQ, they are our local voice in the community, providing boots-on-the-ground representation in regional areas and helping to strengthen communication between the REIQ and our members. The Chairs are often the first port of call for members to raise any issues affecting local real estate professionals.

Zone Chairs are appointed for a two-year term with the 2024-2025 Zone Chairs commencing their role in January 2024.

Queensland's zones
