The RAPAD group has been a strong advocate for connectivity in the region for many years. As individual In addition, Glentworth undertook broad consultation with councils and as a collective, the civic leaders of the region a number of people outside the region.

As this capability market segments: ‘Generation Y’, ‘Baby Boomers’, has been enabled, RAPAD, as the regional advocate, have ‘Grey Nomads’ and overseas tourists. been exploring ways in which digital tools can enable the aspirations outlined by the community. From that process Glentworth produced a document summarising the region’s strengths, weaknesses, In October 2016, with guidance from the Local Government opportunities and threats, as outlined by the participants Association of Queensland (LGAQ), RAPAD engaged in this process.

Image: Tourism and Events Queensland RAPAD is resourced by the seven regional councils to provide a central point to undertake region-wide change. RAPAD has been a key enabler for the region. A critical enabler of this plan is the assumption for RAPAD to expand its role. This need has been brought about by the lack of coordination in several key areas, these are: > Digital strategy, including a Chief Digital Officer for the region > Connectivity strategy > Economic development > Integrated branding > Major events, export and inward investment strategy > Collective negotiating power > Industry engagement > International development RAPAD must take the lead in these key areas, while partnering with councils, telecommunications companies, technology vendors and state and federal governments in implementing this strategic plan.
