Regional Blueprint 2026
A comprehensive, evidence-based snapshot of regional South Australia’s economic landscape, investment pipeline, and future opportunities.


The Regional Blueprint 2026 brings together on-the-ground economic intelligence gathered from across the RDA network. Serving as a key resource for government, investors, and local communities, the Blueprint outlines the economic strengths, emerging priorities, and major development opportunities across every region in South Australia.
The 2026 edition highlights significant growth and momentum across our regional economies, tracking an investment pipeline that has grown to $115 billion across more than 1,100 public and private projects—up 18 per cent from 2025.
Designed to support strategic planning, infrastructure advocacy, and investment decision-making, the Regional Blueprint reflects RDSA’s commitment to driving sustainable economic growth, housing, workforce development, and vibrant regional communities.
