  • THE CANBERRA REGION JOINT ORGANISATION “The Strength of the Regional Approach of the Canberra Airport and the CRJO Are Great Building Blocks for All Our Futures”
    CHAPTER 10 THE CANBERRA REGION JOINT ORGANISATION “The strength of the regional approach of the Canberra Airport and the CRJO are great building blocks for all our futures”. ROWENA ABBEY, PRESIDENT, CRJO 10 Canberra Region Joint Organisation (CRJO) Canberra Airport has welcomed the formal recognition by the NSW Government of the Canberra Region Joint Organisation (CRJO) following the NSW Parliament’s passing of legislation to establish a network of Joint Organisations in November 2017 to help drive better planning, economic development and service delivery in regional NSW. The CRJO has its foundations in the South East Regional Organisation of Councils (SEROC), which was established in 2009. In May 2012, the ACT Government joined SEROC, a landmark moment acknowledging the relationship between the ACT and the surrounding NSW region. CRJO represents ten Councils in South-East NSW and includes the ACT Government. The NSW Member Councils include: Bega Valley Shire Council Eurobodalla Shire Council Goulburn Mulwaree Council Hilltops Council Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council Snowy-Monaro Regional Council Snowy Valleys Council Upper Lachlan Shire Council Wingecarribee Shire Council Yass Valley Council Associate and Affiliate Members include: ACT Government Canberra Airport Wagga Wagga City Council East Gippsland Shire Council As an Affiliate Member of CRJO, Canberra Airport is actively engaged in the interest of a prosperous, sustainable and growing region. In addition to the CRJO Councils, Canberra Airport has for more than ten years engaged with Shoalhaven Council, and more recently with other Local Government Areas (LGA) nearby the ACT, including Cootamundra-Gundagai and Cowra. The local region of engagement by Canberra Airport is flanked by the Pacific Ocean south of Nowra (Shoalhaven) to the Victorian border (Bega Valley), west over the Snowy Mountains and south-west slopes to Wagga Wagga, north via the Olympic Way to Cowra and east to Mittagong on the Southern Tablelands (Wingecarribee).
