Set to replace the former ALFAQ (Australian Leisure Facilities Association Queensland), Aquatics and Recreation Queensland (ARQ) has announced that it will stage a relaunch event on 2nd August at the Lina Rooftop on Brisbane’s Southbank.

Offering a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders and engage with members of the body’s newly formed board the event will see the unveiling of ARQ’s 2024 vision for the future of the Queensland’s aquatics and recreation industry.

Announcing the event, ARQ advised in a communication “we will share insights on upcoming plans and initiatives and provide a glimpse into the exciting path ahead. This remarkable event serves as a platform to outline how ARQ intends to support and elevate the industry to new heights.”

Speaking to Australasian Leisure Management in May, ARQ inaugural President, Jay Clarke explained “we are building a framework in the post-COVID world that aims to endorse our industry peak bodies' policies and procedures and support members in understanding and implementing them.”
