Decadal Plan town halls:
We will be holding a series of Decadal Plan town halls in most states/territories over the coming 3 weeks to discuss initial outcomes from the working groups, and provide the opportunity for discussion.

This is an important step in our decadal planning process, and to ensure broad participation from across the astronomy community both in-person and virtual attendance options are available (meeting link will be shared upon registration).

Town halls will be held in locations across Australia from July 18th to August 2nd:

University of Queensland (UQ) (July 23, 12:00 PM - 3 PM)
