Important Information

On 23 February 2009, the Australian Government Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Development and Northern Australia, Gary Gray, and the New South Wales Minister for Regional Development, Phillip Costa, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on behalf of the Australian and New South Wales governments setting out the arrangements for the creation of Regional Development Australia (RDA). RDA in NSW will ensure a more strategic and responsive approach to regional development and help guide economic growth across regional NSW.

The new Regional Development Australia (RDA) network in NSW is replacing the Australian Government’s 14 Area Consultative Committees and the NSW Government’s 13 Regional Development Boards to create a more comprehensive and coordinated network of 14 RDA committees.

The Board has been working closely with the Federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the NSW Department of State and Regional Development and GROW ACC Sydney to make the transition to Regional Development Australia Sydney as smoothly and effectively as possible, whilst continuing to work on current Board projects.

The Board Executive is currently working on completing the transition to the new RDA Sydney entity. The current Board will remain in place and operational until such time as the new organisation is ready to commence operations.

Please continue to visit our web site for all Greater Western Sydney information and resources. For information on RDA please visit http://www.rda.gov.au/index.aspx

The Board is endeavouring to keep all of our stakeholders up to date with the changes and will be in contact with them all in due course.
