Regional Development Victoria Annual Report tabled
Wednesday, 12 October 2011
Regional Development Victoria's 2010-2011 Annual Report was tabled in State Parliament today
Under the Regional Development Victoria Act, RDV has worked across Government to facilitate a coordinated delivery of services and programs, and in doing so, helped facilitate $770 million in new investment and develop $154.3 million worth of new exports creating over one thousand new regional jobs.
The year has presented a number of opportunities to build on existing achievements, with the most significant being the enactment of the new Regional Growth Fund Act on 1 June 2011, and the subsequent implementation of the $1 billion Regional Growth Fund. This significant commitment combined with existing regional programs provides the largest funding to date for RDV to invest in regional Victoria. This fund is specifically designed to give local people a greater say in decision making, with both the Putting Locals First and Local Government Infrastructure programs requiring the input of the Regional Development Australia committees and local government.
