RDA Sydney

Welcome to our brand new site for Regional Development Australia - Sydney (RDA Sydney). The site will be progressively developed to provide up to date information for users on issues defined in our Strategic Goals.

Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a partnership between the Australian, State, Territory and Local Governments to support the growth and development of Australia’s regions. RDA was an outcome from a Council of Australian Government’s decision to merge the activities of the previous national Area Consultative Committees with the State Regional Development Boards (for Metropolitan Sydney, the GROW Area Consultative Committee for Sydney (GROW) and the Greater Western Sydney Economic Development Board (GWSEDB).

This RDA national initiative is to be delivered through a national network of 55 committees and we are the Regional Development Australia Sydney Committee covering Metropolitan Sydney. (for more information about this initiative please see www.rda.gov.au).

The RDA Sydney committee will build partnerships between governments, regional development organisations, local businesses, community groups and key regional stakeholders to provide strategic and targeted responses to economic, environmental and social issues affecting the Metropolitan region of Sydney.

RDA Sydney covers the Greater Sydney region of 41 Local Government Councils, bounded by Pittwater, Sutherland, Wollondilly, Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury.
