Welcome
Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a nationwide initiative of the Commonwealth Government and replaces the Area Consultative Committee (ACC) network.
RDA aims to work with State and Local Government for the betterment of regional Australia and to provide a framework for reporting to Canberra the issues facing the regions. Key functions include:
-
provide advice on consultation and community engagement;
-
contribute to regional planning and regional development and community initiatives;
-
promote whole-of-Government programs, policies and initiatives; and
-
establish links and co-operative alliances by working with regional communities, other regional development organisations including the WA Regional Development Commissions, neighbouring RDAs and local governments to promote regional development.
RDA - Mid West Gascoyne is one of nine Western Australian bodies among the 55 RDA areas nationwide. The new network is led by the Hon Simon Crean, focusing on working with the State Government and reporting regional needs to the Commonwealth.
The Gillard Government has established a new Ministry of Regional Development, Local Government and Arts, under the Direction of Simon Crean. The 'Better Deal for Regional Australia" developed with the Gillard Government and Independents can be viewed here.
