South Australian RDA committees

RDA in South Australia is a unique tripartite partnership between the Australian and South Australian Governments, and the Local Government Association of South Australia on behalf of its members.  It is administered by the Australian Government Department of Regional Australia, Local Government, Arts and Sport, the South Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA, and the Local Government Association of South Australia.

In South Australia there are eight RDA committees that are working to develop local solutions to the economic, social and environmental issues affecting their communities.

RDA committees in South Australia have developed:

• regional business growth plans and strategies, which will help support economic development, the creation of new jobs, skills development, business investment and utilise fast speed broadband
• environmental solutions, which will support ongoing sustainability and the management of climate change (including the impact of drought, flood or bushfires, restoration of the Murray-Darling Basin and clean energy), and
• social inclusion strategies, which will bring together and support all members of the community.

South Australia has a unique funding model, whereby all three levels of government contribute financially to the RDA framework.

Further information can be found at the South Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regions website and the Local Government Association of South Australia website.
