Message from the Chair

Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a federally funded network of 55 committees across Australia, charged with supporting the growth and development of their regional communities.

Part of RDA’s role is to develop and maintain a Regional Plan or ‘Roadmap’ that provides an overview of each of the regions, including a description of the region, its strengths, challenges, opportunities and critical issues.

This Roadmap serves as a document that outlines key messages that are relevant across the whole DDSW region and designed to help promote the regions comparative and competitive advantages and drive its economic performance.

The DDSW region consists of the 10 Local Government areas of; Balonne, Bulloo, Goondiwindi, Maranoa, Murweh, Paroo Quilpie, Southern Downs, Toowoomba and Western Downs. The region is recognised for its strong agricultural industry, education and health service sectors and developing transport and logistics industries. However, like all regions, we have our challenges, and the implementation of this 2016-2020 Roadmap in collaboration with other key stakeholders will assist to mitigate these.

RDA’s are established to advise and deliver to the Federal Government on five clear actions:

1. Maintain and keep current a three to five year regional plan (Roadmap) that focuses on economic development of their region

2. Provide advice on priority activities that will drive economic development and take advantage of comparative advantages, based on consultation with key stakeholders

3. Assist local community stakeholders to develop project proposals and help shepherd them to appropriate public and/or private funding sources

4. Providing advice to the Government on critical issues affecting the region5. Increasing Awareness of Government Programs

The committee of RDA DDSW has identified the following six regional priorities that will help deliver our charter by identifying actions within this summary to achieve these goals. We will monitor our performance in working with stakeholders on these activities to continuously improve RDA DDSW’s effectiveness within the region.

1. Nation-building Infrastructure2. Connectivity – Road, Rail, Air and Telecommunications3. Innovation4. Diversifying regional economies5. Collaboration6. Community Vitality
