Regional Economic Development Committee
CCA leads Regional Economic Development Committee to advocate for regional industry and infrastructure needs.
Our Regional Development work is guided by the Regional Economic Development Committee (REDC) which is a sub-committee of the Cradle Coast Authority Board. The Committee’s role is to think and act regionally in developing the capability and capacity of the Region’s resources, including renewables, critical minerals, agriculture, advanced manufacturing, and, of course, improving the region for its people through a focus on health, housing and transport.
