Draft Brilliant Region Strategy

The Armidale Region is uniquely positioned to leverage opportunities presented by digital technology, data, and innovation.

Distinct from Australia’s capital cities, Armidale offers a lower cost of living, a strong sense of local community, and a vibrant atmosphere with the lifestyle benefits of a regional centre.

Council has identified a range of benefits for people, businesses, and the Council itself to progress on this journey and help create a better connected region.

Our strategy defines a program which will help us build a platform of digital capabilities to compliment and leverage the impacts of technology across Council and into the broader community and beyond with a view to supporting th e Advancing our Region Community Plan and the LSPS.
