Local and Regional Economic Development
Local Government plays a key role in local and regional economic development.
Local Government NSW has long-standing economic development policies that include the benefits of:
- Utilising and improving local resources and services.
- Community Economic Development initiatives.
- Government, businesses, community partnerships and consultation.
- Social and Economic planning and strategies.
- Maintaining and improving economic and social infrastructure.
We participate in working/reference groups and panels and engage with government, strongly representing the interests of Local Government. We also lobby governments to provide funding and programs to support economic development.
