Message from The Hon.
Catherine King MP
Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government
I commend the Regional Australia Institute in drawing together the knowledge, experiences and views of stakeholders in Regionalisation Ambition 2032: A Framework to Rebalance the Nation. The Framework identifies many of the big issues facing regional communities and articulates some proposals to
address them.
The report indicates that delivering on the potential of regional Australia requires many actors and agents, across sectors and levels of government, to
work together towards this aim. The report recognises that no one group can do it alone and that the aims are complex and long-term.
We must also understand the priorities for people living and working in the regions. Empowering regions to have their voices heard and their solutions
tailored for local need is critical.
