Together with the Ekka, the RNA also operates the Royal Queensland Awards – a national competition – dedicated to unearthing the best of the best in food and beverage to recognise and reward Australia’s finest producers and farmers.
In 2010 the RNA embarked on its $2.9 billion Brisbane Showgrounds Regeneration Project - one of the nation’s largest mixed-use urban regeneration projects of its kind – which has transformed the Showgrounds into a world-class events destination precinct.

Operating as an independent, not-for-profit member-based organisation, their mission is to celebrate and champion the essential role that agriculture plays in the everyday lives of Queenslanders.
