Tim Williamson is the Director of Regional Development (DRD) for Regional Development Australia-Northern Rivers. Tim has over 20 years of experience in regional economic development, working for State and Commonwealth governments before taking on his current responsibility.

During this time, Tim has been responsible for planning, coordinating, and facilitating regional economic development from working one on one with local SMEs through to strategic economic planning at the regional level. Becoming interested in how regions can adapt and move to a Circular Economy has been an outcome of this strategic level work and he believes Northern Rivers is extremely well placed to become a
national CE leader.
