Regional Development Australia: Adelaide Metropolitan

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AUSTRALIA

Regional Development Australia (RDA) is an Australian Government initiative that aims to enhance growth and strengthen the regional communities of Australia and plays a pivotal role in ensuring sustainability of Australia's regions.

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE

In South Australia, Regional Development Australia is a partnership between the Australian Government as represented by and acting through the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Minister for Regional Development for South Australia as represented by and acting through the Department of Trade and Economic Development and the Local Government Association of South Australia on behalf of its members.

The Regional Development Australia initiative is delivered through 55 entities nationally, with 8 entities (i.e. 7 regional and 1 Adelaide metropolitan) established in South Australia.

The seven regional entities are established under the Associations Incorporation Act 1985. These associations are funded under separate agreement with the Australian Government and joint agreements with State and local governments.

The Adelaide metropolitan region is serviced by the Regional Development Australia Adelaide Metropolitan Advisory Board (AMAB) which is an incorporated advisory board. It is funded solely by the Australia Government.
