About Us

For over 136 years the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland (RNA) has worked to promote and encourage the development of the state's agricultural, pastoral, horticultural, industrial, manufacturing and cultural resources plus provide an opportunity for country and city residents to come together and celebrate the Queensland lifestyle.

The RNA owns and operates the RNA Showgrounds at Bowen Hills, Brisbane, and stages Queensland's largest and best loved event, the Royal Queensland Show - the Ekka.

The RNA remains a member based, not for dividend organisation governored by Council. An executive team of Councillors, including the RNA President, has the responsibility of ensuring the ongoing viability of the RNA.

The RNA also has a permanent workforce guided by Chief Executive Jonathan Tunny and senior management team responsible for redevelopment, event production, facilities, leasing, corporate services, communications, marketing, sales, sponsorship and organisational development.
