The role of transport links in regional

development

If the very first requirement for the

development of a region is access

then, quite simply, regions don’t

develop without transport links

A brief history of transport links in our

region

The Stuart Highway

Facilitating the

development of

It’s no coincidence that all

but one of the regional

centres are located along

the Stuart Highway

RDA provides targeted advice to

governments about the challenges and

opportunities in regional Australia and acts

as a conduit between government and

regional communities
