“It’s a great privilege to be able to lead RDA in Grampians for the next two years, continuing to support economic growth and material outcomes,” Mr Tudball said.
“I thank Stuart Benjamin for his service in RDA and I’m looking forward to the future of our work in regional Victora, with opportunities for the public to apply for committee roles.”
Mr Benjamin said he was confident the RDA Grampians committee was strongly positioned to continue guiding the region towards prosperity for the entire community.
“The Grampians region is at a crossroads, confronting economic and political uncertainties. With strong community leadership and focused investment, we can avoid being left behind,” he said.
RDA Grampians is currently recruiting new members, with applications open until 5pm today, Wednesday.
RDA Grampians is focused on driving regional economic growth by addressing key challenges and unlocking opportunities across the region – including improving energy security and leveraging renewable energy investments; expanding value-added agriculture and food production; and strengthening workforce and housing solutions.
Committee members are selected for their business expertise and understanding of their respective regions.
Previous members have brought experience to RDA from local government, private sector, local communities and not-for-profit sectors.
RDA committees are served by voluntary members who are part of advisory bodies supported by Regional Development Victoria.
They meet regularly throughout the year to discuss opportunities for growth.
Each Victorian RDA committee is involved in developing submissions, providing strategic advice to government and supporting regional investment attraction.
Last year, the RDA network delivered a work program to support key worker housing, transitioning to renewable energy, skilled workforces and more digital connectivity in industries across the state.
RDA, a Federal Government program, operates in Barwon South West, Gippsland, Grampians, Hume, Loddon Mallee and Melbourne, alongside Victoria’s nine Regional Partnerships and Regional Development Victoria offices.
