Abstract

This chapter discusses the specific problems of constructing local advantage in regional innovation settings in Australia. Focusing on 'non-traditional' intermediary organisations and their role in promoting collective learning, it reviews a novel approach to accelerating the performance of a local council in New South Wales, Australia and its associated regional development organisation.
