Regional Development Australia Wheatbelt WA
RDA Wheatbelt works to actively shape the future of the region. Our role is to support the 42 Local Governments, stakeholders and our broader community across all regional activities including transport, health, aged and disability care, infrastructure, agriculture, small business, education, manufacturing and so on.
- The vision for our organisation is to actively shape the future of the Wheatbelt Region.
- To realise this vision, we commit to our mission of collaborating across communities, advocating with key decision makers and harnessing innovation to create local opportunity, growth and impact.
- And we do this because our purpose is to be the Wheatbelt’s local voice to Federal Government to facilitate social and economic development.
Connecting people with people, opportunities with solutions, ideas with implementation we provide advice and connections to grant programs, collect data and regional intelligence to support investment decisions, partner with business to leverage project potential, exchange information and communicate across all three levels of government.
