Regional Development Australia, Illawarra
Regional Development Australia, Illawarra (formerly the Illawarra Area Consultative Committee) is a key facilitator for change and development in the Illawarra region.
It works towards the growth of regional business, the creation of employment opportunities and the development of more sustainable communities. RDA Illawarra develops partnerships between the community, government and business to achieve important community goals.
RDA Illawarra has set a priority for projects that;
- Enable economic and business growth in the region.
- Create jobs for the Illawarra's unemployed.
- Facilitate the development of employment generating infrastructure.
- Build community capacity; particularly in disadvantaged suburbs.
A broad-ranging consultation process conducted by RDA Illawarra produced the Regional Engagement Reports 2008. These look at a range of issues, including the future delivery of regional development services, channels of communication between Federal Government and local communities, priorities for the development of community infrastructure, and the principles and priorities for a new Regional and Local Community Infrastructure funding program.
