The national network of Area Consultative Committees (ACCs) has been an important link between the Australian Government and rural and metropolitan Australia.
The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon Anthony Albanese MP announced on 20 March 2008 that as foreshadowed in the Governments key regional election commitments, Area Consultative Committees (ACCs) would provide the basis for the creation of Regional Development Australia (RDA).
Therefore ACCs will transition to become local Regional Development Australia committees. As a first step, the ACC Chairs Reference Group will become the RDA Interim Board until 31 December 2008.
In the transition period, the information on this website should be used only as a guide to the functions and activities of the Flinders Region ACC and the developing RDA network.

History
FRACC was formed in 1999 to build working partnerships
between community, business and government to find local solutions
to local social, economic and environmental development issues.
The Board
The Board, which meets bi-monthly,
is made up of thirteen committed individuals drawn from business,
community and government right across our vast region. All the Board
members have a fierce determination to ensure that communities in
the region remain vibrant and innovative in their pursuit of social,
economic and environmental solutions to local issues.
The Board is ably served by a team
of hard working staff providing the “arms and legs” to
help communities towards bringing their vision to reality.
Information
Area consultative committees (ACCs) are nonprofit,
community-based organisations funded by the Commonwealth Government.
Membership is voluntary and unpaid. ACC Chairs
and members give their time and energy because they have a personal
commitment to working in partnership with the Australian Government
to create jobs, boost business and build a sustainable future for
their community.
