Regional Development Australia (RDA) Logan & Redlands is part of a national network of 50 Committees across Australia’s capital cities and regions, including the Indian Ocean Territories, Norfolk Island and Jervis Bay Territory. These Committees are made up of local leaders who work with all levels of government, business and community groups to support the economic development of their regions.
RDAs play a role in helping to drive economic growth, innovation and entrepreneurship in regions through facilitating investment in community, industry and the environment. RDAs assist to bridge the regional development gaps in regions by working with a broad range of stakeholders across sectors and supporting the delivery of identified Australian Government strategic priorities.
