The Future Role and Contribution of Regional Capitals to Australia The Future Role and Contribution of Regional Capitals to Australia Wagga Wagga Introduction Regional Australia continues to experience and adapt to global issues and historical challenges. As the national economy develops, some regional cities and towns will grow while others decline. Regional populations are ageing in line with national and international trends. Additionally, while the population is ageing, Australians are living longer than ever before and have one of the longest life expectancies in the world. Regional capitals provide a central point of access to essential infrastructure, services including health, business, employment and education. Wagga Wagga and the surrounding towns and villages operate as a hub and spoke model. Cities such as Wagga Wagga support not only local residents but the whole network of surrounding towns and rural communities. Local government is being increasingly burdened with the coordination and production of the majority of regional vision, planning, engagement and budgeting for development priorities and projects. Local Government is the closest governing authority to communities and seen as accountable for the ambitions and values of the communities they represent. Each region is uniquely different with regard to natural resources, labour capacity and infrastructure, and the industry mix and multicultural communities. In the presence of such diversity among regionally based cities and regions, a ‘one size fits all’ policy is unlikely to be effective. At the same time, competing policy agendas pose conflicting challenges for rural and regional Australia. This submission aims to define some of the present day challenges facing Wagga Wagga whilst encompassing the regional areas the city supports along with regional capitals across Australia. Wagga Wagga City Council looks forward to working further with the Senate Enquiry Committee into the future role and contribution of regional capitals to Australia. The Committee is invited to visit Wagga Wagga and develop a more informed understanding of the impact cities such as Wagga Wagga can have at the national level. Councillor Rod Kendall Phil Pinyon Mayor General Manager Wagga Wagga Wagga Wagga City Council Executive Summary Regional capitals in Australia are quite diverse in Recommendation: Proactively promote growth by size and characteristics however they all share the directing greater levels of funding towards visionary, unique role of providing a central point of access strategic investments designed to build upon a to essential infrastructure, services, business, region’s productive assets.

In 1987 a female adult skeleton with a small child was found near Dubbo, NSW, during the course of landscape gardening. Although the burials were disturbed by the landscaping work, artefacts found at the time can be associated with the burials.

    This list has been prepared by the RAI to show which Local Government Areas (LGAs) are in each of the Internet Vacancy Index (IVI) Regions. The regions do not always map well across LGAs as they have been designed under a different geography. So in preparing the list we have looked at a simple ‘best fit’ as to which Region an LGA best fits into. Vacancies in LGAs which overlap different IVI Regions will have some of the characteristics of both IVI Regions.
