Our History:
The Bungendore Weekly began back in 2015, printing local news, supporting and promoting local community events, local not-for-profit groups, local sport, and local businesses. During this time, the paper has grown in both copies printed and distribution locations.
These changing times are challenging for all small local businesses and the Regional Independent is no different. Independent newspapers rock!
To reflect its current distribution, the Weekly was renamed the Regional Independent in April 2020. The Regional Independent will remain the only printed, free, independent, community newspaper within the Queanbeyan-Palerang local government area.
