We are excited to announce the launch of the Country Change Spring 2024 Magazine, a new guide designed to showcase the unique lifestyle, community spirit, and career opportunities that await beyond the city limits. Regional Development Australia (RDA) Riverina has long been dedicated to promoting the Riverina region as an ideal destination for those looking for a fresh start, and with this magazine, we are now expanding our reach to include the vibrant Murray region as well.
The Country Change program has been a cornerstone of RDA’s efforts to encourage families, individuals, and businesses to make the move from the hustle and bustle of city life to the slower pace and welcoming communities of regional New South Wales. With the launch of this new publication, we’re inviting you to explore what makes the Riverina and Murray regions so special and why they are quickly becoming the go-to choice for people seeking a lifestyle change.
This collaborative publication offers a mix of stories from families who have already made the move and testimonials from local business owners and residents. You’ll hear about the opportunities waiting for you in terms of housing, business, education, and medical services. We highlight why so many people are choosing to leave the cities behind for the region’s spacious living, affordable housing, and supportive communities.
One of the key factors that draws people to the Riverina is the lower housing costs compared to the cities. For those looking to settle down and find a home, the cost of living is significantly lower, which means more space for your family and more money in your pocket.
But it’s not just about the affordable housing – it’s about the quality of life. The Riverina offers a lifestyle that’s robust, healthy, and centred around a perfect work-life balance. People are discovering that they can enjoy the benefits of rural life, from outdoor activities and community events to a slower pace of living, all while still staying connected to the larger world.
A concern that often arises for potential Country Changers is employment. Many wonder if they’ll be able to find work in regional areas, or whether they’ll need to sacrifice their career for a slower lifestyle. Thankfully, more and more people are realizing that remote working has opened up a world of possibilities. Many city workers have managed to bring their jobs with them, allowing them to keep the careers they’ve built while enjoying the lifestyle of the country.
For those looking for local employment, there’s plenty of work available across the Riverina and Murray regions. Our Jobs Riverina Murray platform is the perfect way for employers and employees to connect - and it is free!
From agriculture and healthcare to education and tourism, the opportunities are vast. There’s also the potential for entrepreneurs to start and grow their own businesses, supported by a network of local professionals and resources.
Join the Country Change Movement
In addition to the magazine, we invite you to follow the Country Change program on our social media channels, including Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. Through these platforms, you’ll be able to connect with families who have already made the move and hear firsthand about their experiences.
Stay tuned for more updates, including the upcoming launch of our website where you can learn more about what the Riverina and Murray regions have to offer.
We look forward to welcoming you to our region – where the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of is waiting.
