Development South Australia (RDSA) plays a unique role in supporting the economic development efforts of seven regionally based Regional Development Australia (RDA) Committees and the Adelaide Metropolitan RDA. For well over 25 years the eight RDAs in South Australia have evolved into key economic development agencies within their specific regions. They are well regarded and sought after as a key source of regional intelligence on matters of economic development, investment and business opportunity. RDSA brings the eight RDA’s together to collaborate closely on a wide range of cross-regional issues and economic development projects that are fundamental to the future and well-being of South Australia. The ability to collaborate and advocate as a single statewide voice through RDSA puts our RDA’s in a unique position, as no other Australian State or Territory operates under this model. The seven regionally based RDAs are funded under a tri-partite funding partnership between the Australian Government, Government of South Australia and the Local Government Association of South Australia on behalf of its members with the funding provided direct to RDA’s by Councils. RDA Adelaide Metro office helps to coordinate some projects across multiple RDA’s and is solely funded through the Federal Government. The RDA Chief Executive Officers meet regularly throughout the year to ensure there is a combined approach to developing regional South Australia and that opportunities for collaboration are identified and acted upon. 1.02 PURPOSE OF PRIORITISATION REPORT This document is an update to an earlier report ‘Regional Development South Australia – Prioritising South Australia’s Regional Infrastructure Project
