RDA Brisbane, Queensland

Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a partnership between the Australian, state, territory and local governments to grow and strengthen the nation’s regions, and ensure their long-term sustainability.

There are 55 RDA Committees around Australia, including 12 in Queensland, each made up of committed local champions with a strong grass roots understanding of their regions. RDA Committees work with their communities to identify opportunities, challenges and priorities for action. They are local people developing local solutions to local issues.

RDA Brisbane works within the Brisbane Local Government Area and its role is to:

• support regional planning across all levels of government
• work with the community to identify and take action on critical economic, social and environmental issues
• provide advice to local communities and government on programs and services which will help develop new opportunities in the region
• contribute to workforce skilling and participation strategies, innovation and technology opportunities and social inclusion strategies
