Regional Development Australia Southern NSW & ACT (RDASNA) are pleased to invite you to an exciting Regional Connect Event at Crookwell Art Gallery.

Topic: Practical tool to be prepared for a changing future

This session brings together practical tools, case studies, and local insights to help business and community stakeholders navigate the realities of economic transition and climate impacts. Drawing on the CRJO Blueprint for a Resilient South East NSW and other regionally focused initiatives, the session explores how preparation, partnerships and place-based planning can build resilience at the local level.

Heidi Stratford from NSW Reconstruction Authority  will be speaking to the “Resilience Blueprint”, developed through the Canberra Region Joint Organisation (CRJO), which provides a practical framework for local planning, community engagement, and preparedness. This blueprint is designed to help us consider how we can embed everyday practices that support safer, stronger, and more connected communities across our region.

We’re also excited to welcome NBN Co as our special guest speaker, sharing valuable insights on digital connectivity and how technology can support stronger, more connected communities.
