Regional Development Australia Expressions of Interest applications

10 July 2009

Expressions of Interest are sought from people who are interested in joining the Regional Development Australia (RDA) network of boards in South Australia.

The RDA (SA) network will enable improved communication between the people of South Australia and all levels of government.

In addition to delivering programs and services the RDA (SA) network will have a broad, strategic role to facilitate effective engagement between government and regional communities and responsiveness to local needs. RDA replaces the Australian Government's Area Consultative Committees and the State's Regional Development Boards.

Previous board or committee experience is not essential. If you have the commitment and drive to make a contribution to your region, and are able to participate in board meetings and related activities, this is for you.

RDA needs people with leadership, vision and the ability to champion regional interests and to work with all spheres of government.

Applications are sought from enthusiastic people who are committed to the future of their regions. Experience in one or more of the following areas is preferred:

• economic development
• business or management
• industry
• community services
• local government
• social inclusion
