About RDA

What we do

Collaboration

Our network shares information and collaborates to develop innovations and solutions that can be adapted across the country to help grow Australia’s regions.

RDA committee members are passionate and dedicated local leaders who act as an effective conduit across government, industry and with the community to support the development of their regions. They bring a broad range of experiences, including from local government, the private sector, the community and not-for-profit sectors.
