Our Priorities

The RDA Mid West Gascoyne 2021/22 program adopts a place-based approach to jobs and growth in the region understanding that regional and remote communities have differing requirements to be successful.

​Our strategic priorities are:

• Strategies for Growth: Lead the engagement with shire communities to develop frameworks that can be used by small communities to identify growth opportunities.
• Governance and Leadership: Champion the formation of governance arrangements that allow projects to evolve through different stages and capitalise on the opportunities for success.
• Regional Growth and Investment: Lead and facilitate a programmed approach to Gascoyne infrastructure priorities.
• Collaborate: With regional organisations and stakeholders.
• Provide intelligence: Inform regional stakeholders of opportunities and provide evidence-based advice to the Australian Government.  

Regional Outcome Themes

1. Facilitation of regional economic development outcomes, investment, jobs and local procurement.
2. Promotion of a greater regional awareness of and engagement with Australian Government policies, grants programs and research.
3. Contribution to regional policy making by providing intelligence and evidence-based advice to the Australian Government on regional development issues.
4. Co-ordination of the development of a strategic regional plan, or work with suitable existing regional plans that will align with the Commonwealth’s regional priorities.
