REGIONAL RESEARCH
Recently commissioned socioeconomic research has provided us with clear direction on how we can be more impactful catalysts for change – collaborating and partnering with the organisations that are doing, or looking to do, great work in our community.
This research helps further inform future funding and investment decisions so that we can continue to enhance the lives of more people in our region by being responsive to changing community needs and aspirations.
