Abstract

This paper examines the factors contributing to the effectiveness of regional development agencies in two Australian states, Queensland and Western Australia. The paper reviews research on the rise of local and regional economic development across developed nations and considers the problems inherent in programme and policy evaluation within local economic development. It is argued that through interviews with practitioners it is possible to identify a relatively simple typology of institutional factors likely to influence the success or otherwise of an agency. These indicators are then compared with the results of a self-evaluation questionnaire.
