The CAMRA project focuses on four regions of Australia and is very "site-specific"; closely examining the cultural characteristics and potentials of each particular region.

Even so, there is also a general, nationwide relevance to the research and regions were selected so that the knowledge gained from studying them can be easily transposed to similar types of regions around Australia.

The project regions are:
