The Canberra Region Joint Organisation (CRJO) provides a forum for councils, State agencies and other stakeholders to work together at a regional level to identify shared priorities; delivering important regional projects and better outcomes for communities.
The CRJO’s core objectives include:
In 2017, the NSW Parliament passed the Local Government Amendment (Regional Joint Organisations) Act 2017, to establish a network of joint organisations (JOs). The JOs are local government entities with legal powers to enable councils to work together at a regional level and with state agencies and other organisations to achieve better planning, economic development and service delivery outcomes in regional NSW.
