There are several characteristics of this regional economic

• The Plan acknowledges that community developmentis an important part of contemporary economic development.
• The Plan’s development has involved a high level ofcollaboration and consultation – across government, with communities across the region, and with industry at peak body and individual enterprise levels.
•  It is underpinned by the notion of partnership, with many of the actions in the Plan being undertaken in collaboration with other stakeholders. 
•  It has a high level of accountability and transparency.
• The Plan will be a dynamic document and will be reviewed and updated every two years.
