Regional Development Australia – Far South Coast

What is an RDA Committee?

Regional Development Australia (RDA) Committees are locally managed, non-profit, community-based organisations jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments.

RDA – Far South Coast is part of a national network of RDA committees serving rural, regional, remote and urban communities across Australia.

What is the purpose of RDA – Far South Coast?

The south coast region of New South Wales faces major challenges in the future, and effective partnerships between Government, business and communities are needed in order to meet these challenges. RDA – Far South Coast plays a leading role in creating and coordinating these partnerships, and additionally it will provide strategic leadership on a range of regional development issues.

RDA – Far South Coast is a key facilitator for change and development in the NSW south coast region. We work towards the growth of the economy and the creation of increased job opportunities. As part of our economic development role RDA - Far South Coast places a strong emphasis on the strengthening of infrastructure, including social infrastructure. This is based on the belief that community development and economic development are inextricably linked. RDA – Far South Coast develops partnerships between the community, government and business to achieve identified community and economic goals.

RDA – Far South Coast Committee is comprised of members who are leaders of business and community organisations. The Committee identifies priorities and opportunities for employment, and economic and community development in our region. RDA – Far South Coast provides advice to the Australian and NSW State Governments about these opportunities and, in doing so, acts as an important conduit between Government and the south coast region of New South Wales.
