Welcome to this the third newsletter from the Rural and Regional Statistics National Centre (RRSNC). This edition brings you up to date with some of the developments in the National Centre and outlines several statistical releases from our work program.

There have been some changes to our Advisory Group as well as to reporting arrangements internally within the ABS which will enhance our ability to influence internal programs with respect to regional data.

A major step forward is the development of an Information Development Plan for regional statistics to highlight the priority areas where statistical development is most needed. This plan will help focus the forward work program on areas that require the greatest attention.

We have recently appointed a Local Government Sector Account Manager to foster an improved relationship with local government clients. It is envisaged that the Manager will facilitate the delivery of better information and education solutions for councils and their staff.

The newsletter provides information on the latest releases with respect to our work with both personal and business income taxation data estimates. Much of these data are already available on the ABS web site.

We welcome suggestions and feedback on our endeavours and trust that you find the newsletter of interest. If you would like any further information on any of the items please contact the nominated person or use the contact details on the back page.
