This is the fourth Growth Survey that has been undertaken by the Murraylands Regional Development Board (MRDB) since 1998 with funding provided by the State Government of South Australia through its SA Works in the Regions program.

All four surveys forecast growth over a three year period based upon the staffing expectations of Murraylands’ organisations and identify potential barriers to that growth.  The previous reports, are still available on this page and can also be downloaded, but it is recommended that the current report be downloaded for current consultation.

Update: The MRDB has once again commissioned Bill Clifford to undertake the Jobs Growth Investment Survey. The current report is an update of the previous report projecting growth from 2009 to 2011. This new report will replace the current 2009 report which is due to expire at the end of December 2009.

As a result of the drought, parts of the Murraylands have been declared under Exceptional Circumstances.  Because of this, the MRDB commissioned a consultant Bill Clifford, to provide an updated snapshot of the region relating to jobs & growth prospects for the Murraylands.

After industry consultation, the previous version released in June 2006, has been updated to reflect the current regional situation.
