RDA Northern Rivers

A leadership voice for the region

The Northern Rivers region includes the traditional lands of the people of the Bundjalung, Yaegl, Githabul and Gumbaynggirr nations. RDA Northern Rivers acknowledges the traditional owners of this region. We recognise and respect their continuing connection to the land, waters and communities, and pay our respects to Elders past and present, and to all First Nation people.

Our region covers an area that reaches from the Queensland border to south of the Clarence River, encompassing seven local government areas: Tweed Shire, Byron Shire, Ballina Shire, Kyogle, Lismore City, Richmond Valley and Clarence Valley councils.
