Regional Development Australia (RDA) is a national network of committees made up of local leaders who work with all levels of government, business and community groups to support the economic development of their regions.

RDA Committees have an active and facilitative role in their communities and a clear focus on growing strong and confident regional economies that harness their competitive advantages, seize on opportunity and attract investment.

RDA Goldfields Esperance (RDAGE) is funded by the Australian Government and administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.

The current Charter for Regional Development Australia was released in July 2023 and outlines a new direction for RDA's across Australia. It can be viewed here: RDA Charter.

A Regional Investment Framework has also been prepared as a new approach to how the Australian Government delivers regional investments.
