Minister for Rural and Community Development

Since my Department’s establishment in 2017, it has not procured or utilised any services for the purposes of Departmental or Ministerial public relations. In carrying out its functions the Department does, on occasion, use advertising and communications services for work such as public consultations and raising awareness of funding schemes.
