Liz Price will continue using her experience in tourism and community engagements following her reappointment as Regional Development Australia (RDA) Barwon South West chair.
RDA Barwon South West aims to help strengthen the agri-food supply chain, advance high-value manufacturing, unlock visitor economy growth, and boost workforce participation.
Ms Price said she was committed to creating a more prosperous and sustainable future for the region and supporting a climate-resilient economy.
“It’s a great privilege to be able to lead RDA in the Barwon South West region for the next two years, continuing to support economic growth and collaboration,” she said.
“I’m looking forward to the future of our work in regional Victora. Applications for the committee are open until the end of April, and it is a great opportunity to support the region.”
Federal Minister for Regional Development Kristy McBain said more than $117 million from the federal government was “set to flow across all the RDA committees over the next five years”.
“It is an exciting time for the new and returning chairs, as they’ll have the opportunity to work with their members to set the future agendas for their RDAs,” she said.
“I congratulate new and returning RDA chairs, who will work closely with their community, local businesses and all levels of government to drive growth and development in their regions.”
Applications for RDA committee member positions across the state will remain open until Wednesday, April 30. Visit rdv.vic.gov.au/rda-apply for more information.
