The Wide Bay Burnett Regional Organisation of Councils Inc (WBBROC) was formed in 2000 to represent the interests of all councils within the Wide Bay Burnett region. WBBROC lobbies Federal and State Governments on behalf of members Councils on matters of common interest and is often the point of contact for higher levels of Government seeking the views of Councils on a broad range of issues.

WBBROC and members Councils are involved in the regional planning process through the WBB Regional Planning Committee which is working towards the creation of a statutory Regional Plan for the Wide Bay Burnett. When completed the Statutory plan will supercede the current Wide Bay Burnett Regional Plan2007 -2026.

WBBROC has facilitated major studies such as the Demographic & Economic Change study which looked at the current profile of the region from a demographic and economic viewpoint and the implications and challenges facing the region in the future.
