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 has replaced 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.
As a result GWSEDB and GROW (Sydney's Area Consultative Committee) have combined to become Regional Development Australia-Sydney Incorporated (RDA Sydney), located in the previous GROW offices.
Please continue to visit our web site for all Greater Western Sydney information and resources. We will be gradually migrating relevant information and resources to the RDA Sydney web site at http://www.rdasydney.org.au
