Regional Development Australia (with LGA's) 2015-16 (April 2016) \r\n\r\nRegional Development Australia (RDA) is an Australian Government initiative that brings together all levels of government to enhance the growth and development of Australia's regions. A national network of RDA committees has been established to achieve this objective. \r\n\r\nRDA Regions are created and maintained by the Dept. of Infrastructure and Regional Development to support this initiative. \r\n\r\nNotes \r\n\r\nThe RDA Regions (2015-16) were built from the ABS/PSMA LGA 2015 boundary dataset. \r\n\r\nThe RDA spatial data is updated as new LGA boundaries are released by ABS or as RDA regional boundaries move. \r\n\r\nOn the 16th of August 2011, the RDA representation of Lord Howe Island, previously RDA Northern Rivers was changed to RDA Mid North Coast.

Thus, the large unincorporated LGA (Outback Communities Authority) is divided between 3 RDAs (see SA Government Regions for more information). \r\n\r\nMore work has also been done on identifying Outback Community Authority islands (which have been incorporated into their respective RDA's)\r\n\r\nNSW \r\n\r\nRDA South Coast includes the external territory of Jervis Bay. In previous data releases, Lord Howe Island (part of the ABS Unincorporated NSW) was part of RDA Northern Rivers. On the 16 of August 2011, Lord Howe Island was to be represented by Mid North Coast and is under the control of the LHI Board. \r\n\r\nNorfolk Island IS NOT YET part of any RDA \r\n\r\nThere has also been ...
