Strategy & Advocacy

Transformative investment in Victoria’s regional cities is about more than just building new homes – it’s about building a stronger, fairer Victoria.

To unlock the full potential of our regional cities, we need the essentials in place: essential infrastructure like water, energy and safe roads; an essential workforce to deliver it including planners, engineers and surveyors; essential transport links that drive our growth and keep us connected; and the investment to match our ambition.

RCV’s 2026 advocacy agenda demonstrates how – with genuine consideration of the rural and regional context and the right support from government – our regional cities can play an essential role in the plan for Victoria’s future.
