Assistance for regional communities

Regional communities throughout NSW thrive by developing skills and encouraging initiatives that boost local economic activity.

To ensure regional NSW shares in the economic growth experienced nationally the Department works with regional communities to help them respond to and manage economic change.

It works in partnership with local councils and businesses, business organisations and community groups to create new investment and jobs across the State.

Communities benefit from a number of DSRD programs that encourage community economic development by assisting communities with marketing and promotion, planning workshops, skills development and business development projects.

Other programs help communities respond to particular economic development issues or the effects of economic restructuring and the loss of jobs.

The Department also provides funding assistance to support the operations of local and regional bodies, including Business Advisory Services and Regional Development Boards as well as other regional development organisations for projects that advance economic development.
