The Federal and ACT Governments have announced the appointments and re-appointments to the ACT Regional Development Australia committee. The appointments of two new members to RDA ACT were announced by Regional Australia Minister Simon Crean and ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher.

 

The two new appointments are:

  • Adrian Best
  • Louise De Busch.

 

Mr Crean and Ms Gallagher also announced the re-appointment of Peter Elford, Jean McIntyre and Susan Vicki Still to RDA ACT.

 

Mr Crean said the new appointments and re-appointments will ensure RDA ACT continues as a vital connection between different levels of Government.

 

"The RDA committees are more than the eyes and ears for Canberra," Mr Crean said.

 

"Their input is central to our place-based approach because it will help us better respond to the challenges and opportunities different regions face and enable us to embed regionalism into the way we govern in a way that can't be unpicked.
