About Local-Search-Queensland
Our Story
Local-Search-Queensland was born in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news platform for Queenslanders seeking local insights and information. Founded on the belief that staying informed about one’s community is a fundamental aspect of civic engagement, we set out to fill an important gap in the online media landscape.
In the bustling digital world, where information moves swiftly, we recognized that many news sources often overlook the unique needs and stories of local communities. This inspired us to create a website dedicated to shedding light on Queensland’s diverse regions, from its vibrant cities to its lush countryside.
