- Regional Co-operation and Development Forum

The Regional Co-operation and Development Forum is held each year and convenes just prior to the ALGA General Assembly of Local Government. The Forum brings together local government representatives and economic development practitioners to examine the performance, prospects and policies for Australia's regions. Each year the Forum reflects on the findings of the latest State of the Regions report and looks in depth at particular themes and their influence on regional economic performance.
- State of the Regions report
-
The State of the Regions (SOR) report - commissed by ALGA from National Economics - provides an annual stock-take of the economic well being of Australia's regions and their prospects for economic development and employment growth. SOR looks at strategies to strengthen local and regional economic and employment outcomes, and emphasises the importance of local government and regional agencies. A distinctive feature is that SOR divides all Australia into regions: both metropolitan and non-metropolitan regions.
