Regional Communities Consultative Council
In 1996, the New South Wales Government established the Regional Communities Consultative Council to make sure that the Government is informed on the issues and concerns facing country people in NSW.
The role of the RCCC is to:
- advise on the broader impact of specific government initiatives, policies and services on rural and regional communities
- advise on opportunities for government initiatives which advance the social, economic and environmental development of rural and regional NSW
- advise on regional communities' access to information on government initiatives, services and programs being delivered to rural and regional NSW and
- advocate changes which improve the quality of life for rural and regional communities.
The overarching theme of the RCCC is the sustainability of rural communities. The Council pursues this theme through:
- Community consultations
- Advice to Government as part of the policy development process
- Undertaking issue-specific projects and
- Responding to contentious and emerging issues which are important to regional and rural people.
In this way, the RCCC helps the Government to work with country communities to respond to and resolve local issues.
