This framework is designed to help direct the actions of government, industry and the community towards achieving a greater proportion of Australians living prosperously in the regions by 2032 and beyond. The framework has been developed from a decade of research and with extensive input from regional communities, industry and government.

To achieve the ambition, the framework outlines five pillars, with key 2032 targets, actions and benefits that will each contribute to building stronger regional communities, and a stronger Australia. These pillars are significantly interlinked and addressing each of them is needed to fully unlock the potential of regional Australia. The five pillars of the framework are; jobs and skills, liveability, population, productivity and innovation, and sustainability and resilience.
