Regional Development Questionnaire

Please help! Your input is needed to assist with the development of the South East NSW Region


The Australian Government has requested the South East NSW Area Consultative Committee (Seacc) to consult with communities into ways to improve the Government's engagement with regional communities. In addition the government seeks information on the priorities for the types of community infrastructure that could encourage economic development in local communities.

Completing this survey will assist Seacc to provide accurate and timely local advice to the Government that will feed directly into the decision making processes of the Federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.
