Mission Statement

Engaging Government, Business and the Community to create opportunities for sustainable economic, social and environmental development.

Chairmans Welcome

The role of the Sunraysia ACC has continued to develop over the last 13 years and as Chairman I continue to be enthusiastic about the opportunities for growth and regional development that we have here in Sunraysia.

Sunraysia Area Consultative Committee (SACC) is currently in transition to a new organisational structure under the Regional Development Australia network.
The role of the new Regional Development Australia network will be to build on the success of the ACC network, but with a broader role to develop strategic input into national programs to improve the co-ordination of regional development initiatives and to ensure that there is an effective engagement with communities.
