Somerset’s new ‘strong voice’ for development
SOMERSET Councillor Sally Jess has been appointed as a committee member of Regional Development Australia Ipswich & West Moreton (RDAIWM), representing Somerset from June 2025 to December 2026.

Cr Jess said she was honoured to represent the Somerset region through the committee and looked forward to advocating for Somerset and bringing a “strong local voice to the table.”
“As part of the RDA Committee, I’ll be working alongside industry groups and councillors from neighbouring local governments to support regional growth, attract investment, and strengthen local infrastructure, agribusiness, and jobs.
“By collaborating across the region, I aim to ensure Somerset’s priorities are well-represented in broader planning and development initiatives.”
RDAIWM is part of a national network of committees that promote and support economic development within the Ipswich and West Moreton region.
