We are critical on-the-ground connectors, advocates, and influencers for regional development in the Great Southern. We:

  • Connect our region, people and communities to opportunities, services, and funding
  • Cultivate the development, investment and growth in our region’s jobs and economic activity
  • Champion our region, its brand, assets and identity, and its successes, opportunities, and solutions to its challenges
  • Collaborate to develop effective relationships and partnerships that enable us to proactively monitor, inform and respond to opportunities and challenges influencing our region’s prosperity.

Our Board of Management leads the commission providing overarching strategic and policy direction, in pursuit of our vision and goals for the region. A dedicated and passionate team of GSDC staff work within the region, across a diverse range of regional projects, guided by this strategic direction.

Our projects encompass all areas of the Great Southern, and our reach spans from individual guidance and support for local businesses and community groups, to influencing strategic priorities within higher levels of government. The GSDC’s work, while diverse and wide-ranging, is always centred on our vision for development of the region.

Our projects focus on our 4 strategic priorities:

  • A strong and diverse economy
  • Regional liveability
  • Strong Communities
  • Organisational excellence
