Taking a fresh approach to how we invest in regional NSW

Regional communities have grown and changed a lot over the past decade, and we need to update how the government invests in regional NSW.

We want to be sure we are supporting regional development in a fair and equitable way, and guarantee we are doing everything we can to be transparent and accountable to the people of NSW in how we spend public funds.

The NSW Government is undertaking a review of the Regional Development Act 2004 to identify priorities for regional communities, establish how the government will work with these communities to improve outcomes and the approach to identify areas for future investment.

Tell us what you think

We want to hear from all members of the NSW community. Your feedback will help inform how the Government supports the sustainable growth of regional NSW now and into the future.

We are interested in hearing from the community and will use the information we collect from you to help develop the programs and services that NSW Government provides.
