RDA GW seeking local leaders to join committee

REGIONAL Development Australia Greater Whitsundays (RDA GW) is now accepting applications for Committee Members.

RDA GW is part of a national network of 50 committees across Australia, including the Indian Ocean Territories, Norfolk Island and Jervis Bay Territory.

The network is made up of local leaders who work with all levels of government, business and community groups to support economic and workforce development, local procurement, strategic regional planning and to inform government programs and infrastructure investments.

RDA GW Committee Chair Jeff Stewart-Harris strongly encourages local community and business leaders with the expertise and desire to generate economic growth opportunities for the region to apply.

“This is a great opportunity for individuals who are passionate about advocating for our region,” said Mr Stewart-Harris.

“Applicants can also take confidence in the fact that we are committed to ensuring a balanced gender perspective and diverse representation around the table, as this is key to achieving well-rounded outcomes.

“The stronger our RDA committee, the stronger our communities become.”

Successful candidates must possess strong advocacy skills and be capable of setting strategic direction and achieving outcomes. The appointment term is from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030, in a hands-on role.

Committee Members play an important role in shaping the future of the Greater Whitsundays region.
