Office of Rural Affairs

The Office of Rural Affairs provides support to the Minister for Rural Affairs and the Government to achieve its objectives and commitments to people living in country NSW.
The Office of Rural Affairs undertakes this through providing secretariat support to the Regional Communities Consultative Council (RCCC) which is the peak rural community advisory body reporting to the Premier and the Minister for Rural Affairs.
The Office develops and maintains close links with stakeholders and communities across the state. Working within the framework of Government objectives, the Office identifies issues, gaps and opportunities and develops solutions that enhance service provision to the people and communities of country NSW.
