Welcome to the
Riverina and Murray Joint Organisation
The Riverina and Murray Joint Organisation (RAMJO) brings together 11 regional councils to provide a united and local voice for our communities on key issues.
Formerly known as “RAMROC”, in 2018, the NSW Government announced a new structure of local government entities called “joint organisations” to support councils to work together.
The RAMJO region covers an area of over 82,868 square kilometres and has a population of 160,177 people. (ABS ERP 2024)
Joint organisations help to build stronger councils and to improve service delivery and infrastructure in key priority areas such as water security, energy, transport, digital connectivity, waste management and health, across these rural and regional communities.
The small RAMJO team works collaboratively with the General Managers and Mayors and other staff at each council to identify priority issues and then advocate for government funding and industry support to address these key projects.

RAMJO’s Regional Plans
RAMJO’s Water Position Paper was compiled last year to establish regional leadership, collaboration and advocacy in water management for our communities. The RAMJO Regional Freight Transport Plan released in November 2020, details identified road constraints and prioritises necessary freight infrastructure projects. RAMJO councils have also identified key infrastructure projects for their communities.
