Regional Development Australia (RDA) Tasmania is an organisation dedicated to driving economic, social, and environmental development across the state of Tasmania. 

Formed through a partnership between the Australian Government, the Tasmanian Government, and local governments, RDA Tasmania operates under a national charter to address regional development challenges and opportunities. The Strategic Regional Plan focuses on leveraging Tasmania's unique strengths and addressing key issues such as workforce development, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. The plan emphasises community leadership, economic potential, social inclusion, and climate change adaptation to ensure balanced and sustainable regional development.

RDA Tasmania facilitates growth by:



  • Bringing people together and building strong relationships.

  • Enabling action by laying the groundwork needed for progress.

  • Influence by driving initiatives through collaboration.

  • Incubate and embed by leading projects and taking direct action when necessary.
