5. Collaboration for Success
Do you have an interest in the development and recognition of Inland Australia just like us? Maybe your organisation is creating change and movement for the benefit of our inland regions or researching the brightest solutions to some of our critical issues? If the answer is yes, then RDA Orana would love to hear from you!
The Inland Growth Summit, hosted by Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana has been running since our inaugural event in 2019. They believe the economic contribution from our inland regions is something to be celebrated, while also acknowledging some of the barriers to further progression that we face and can overcome together.
Rebound & Resilience
This session will be centering around the economic contribution of Inland Australia in the face of the COVID pandemic and its integral role in the rebound for the benefit of all Australians. It will also include rebound and resilience through natural disasters, fire, flood and drought, livability, and planning for the future.
Workforce of the Future
Inland Australia is experiencing critical labour shortages and is in most cases the number one barrier to business expansion and growth across industry. How do we work together to plan and secure long-term solutions for population growth and the concept of growing our own?
Infrastructure for Development
In this session we will ask the question, how do we invest in infrastructure for impact? What security and investment are required to build Inland Australia, our industries and communities require for a prosperous future and capitalise on opportunities?
Industry & Innovation
Inland Australia is the place of opportunity! In this session, we want to look at how we can continue to develop a resilient, diverse, and strong industrial base. Successful case studies on innovation within industry and harnessing opportunities will be spotlighted, so we can celebrate those who are leading the way.
Collaboration for Success
How do we work together to create a strong and united voice for Inland Australia? What does true collaboration mean in real life between government policy, infrastructure plans, and the great divide between our coastal counterparts? How can we truly collaborate to highlight and differentiate Inland Australia as the powerhouse it is? These are the questions we are looking to explore in this session of the event.
