Smart Central West Digital Strategy

Project’s value to CWQ

Digital disruption is occurring in every industry and
locality around the world. While it is destroying some
industries and business models, it is bringing opportunity
to businesses and communities, shrinking vast distances
and enabling better services.

RAPAD, and each of the region’s councils, by producing
and implementing this strategic plan are ensuring that
the region is ready for that digital disruption and have a
plan on how to best use digital tools to continually build
a better community while avoiding, as much as possible,
the negative effects of digital destruction.

We have engaged thoroughly with the community,
through the Institute of Resilient Communities and
Glentworth to deeply understand the community’s
aspirations as well as our challenges.

This strategic plan, and its eleven projects, will use digital
and non-digital tools to support those aspirations and
overcome the challenges.
