{{Further-text|[[Seven News#Regional Queensland|Seven News]]}}Seven News broadcast local bulletins each weeknight at 6{{nbsp}}pm, in all seven regional areas: [[Cairns]], [[Townsville]], [[Mackay, Queensland|Mackay]], [[Division of Wide Bay|Wide Bay]], [[Toowoomba]], the [[Sunshine Coast, Queensland|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Rockhampton]]. They are followed by a shortened 30-minute version of ''Seven News Brisbane''.

The bulletins are presented by [[Rob Brough]], with Joanne Desmond co-anchoring the Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton and Toowoomba editions. Sport is presented by Nathan Spurling and weather is presented by Livio Regano. Fill-in presenters include Luke McGarry (sport), TBD (weather).

Reporters and camera crews are based at newsrooms in each of the seven regions with studio presentation for the Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Darling Downs, Rockhampton and Wide Bay bulletins pre-recorded in [[Maroochydore]]. The Sunshine Coast edition of ''Seven News'' is broadcast live, but may also exchange it to any of the six pre-recorded regions at certain circumstances (e.g., cyclone coverage in the nearest region of immediate concern). News editing is undertaken by the local newsrooms, and sent to the main Maroochydore studios for transmission.

The most successful edition of ''Seven Local News'' is broadcast on the [[Sunshine Coast, Queensland|Sunshine Coast]]. In early 1998, [[WIN Television]] launched a competing service publicly stating that it would beat Seven in the ratings within six months. At the end of the 1998 ratings season, after a new station head (Laurie Patton) had overseen a comprehensive re-vamping of the program and its external promotions, ''Seven Local News'' had actually increased its audience share by six ratings points.

In early 2004, ''Seven Local News'' was re-introduced in the Townsville and Cairns sub-markets as a result of regulations regarding local content on regional television introduced by the [[Australian Broadcasting Authority]].

On 5 March 2007, ''Seven Local News'' bulletins commenced production and broadcasts in a [[widescreen]] [[Standard-definition television|standard-definition]] [[Digital television|digital]] format. ''Seven Local News'' was the first regional news service in regional [[Queensland]] to convert to widescreen.

On 22 November 2010, ''Seven Local News'' launched a sixth edition for the Rockhampton/Gladstone and Central Queensland region.

On 2 November 2015, ''Seven Local News'' launched a seventh edition for the Toowoomba and the Darling Downs region. With the said launch, Seven News became the only news service to cover all regional centres of Queensland since the axing of WIN News in the Mackay region in May 2015. This lasted until July 2017, when rival ''[[Nine News#Southern Cross Austereo|Nine News]]'' began to roll out local composite bulletins for their statewide affiliate [[Southern Cross Nine|Southern Cross Television]] (which carried Nine programming from July 2016 until July 2021). When the composite Nine News bulletins for Mackay and Toowoomba/Darling Downs were axed on 15 February 2019, Seven News once again became the only news service to cover all regional centres of Queensland.

From 11 July 2016, these editions are consolidated with the ''Seven News'' branding, though the openers of these editions remained to address as ''Seven Local News''. The ''Local News'' branding was completely phased out on 5 September 2016 in favour of the ''Seven News'' brand.

Formerly, there were two bureaus located in Hervey Bay and Gladstone covering their respective regions, but they were closed due to budget reasons.

Fill-in Weather Presenter [[Rosanna Natoli]] left the Seven Network after getting elected Mayor of [[Sunshine Coast Region]] on 16 March 2024.
