Regional Development Australia
Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a partnership between the Australian, state and territory and local governments to support the growth and development of Australia's regions.
A national network of 55 RDA committees has been established to provide a strategic framework for economic growth in each region.
The RDA committees work to:
- support informed regional planning
- consult and engage with the community on economic, social and environmental issues, solutions and priorities
- liaise with governments and local communities about government programs, services, grants and initiatives for regional development
- contribute to business growth plans and investment strategies, environmental solutions and social inclusion strategies in their region.
There are nine RDA committees in Victoria covering all parts of the state:
- Barwon South West
- Gippsland
- Grampians
- Hume
- Loddon Mallee
- Eastern Melbourne
- Northern Melbourne
- Southern Melbourne
- Western Melbourne.
