Community Builders from the North Midlands are completing stage two of the program and have hosted Community Opportunity Workshops (C.O.W.S) in Perenjori, Three Springs, Mullewa, Coorow, Morawa and Dalwallinu.
The C.O.W. is structured and facilitated as a fun and highly interactive event utilising ‘Café Conversation’ methodology. The process fosters meaningful discussion for community action and enables participants to share knowledge.
The Community Action Plan’s goals include empowerment, collaboration, inclusion, sustainability, and disaster resilience.
Towns are now working on the development and production of their Community Action Plans.
Central West Queensland Community Builders are progressing through the early stages of the program, with the final three musters taking place in Blackall, Aramac, and the graduation of Community Builders scheduled for May 2024.
These events have served as opportunities for locals to spotlight their town, exchange ideas, and establish connections with neighbouring communities.
Workshops, presentations, and interactive sessions have enabled participants to leverage their strengths and consider innovative avenues for growth.
The collaborative spirit and shared objectives emerging from these Cluster Musters underscore their importance in laying the groundwork for sustained progress and prosperity in Central West Queensland.
- 17th April 2024 – Aramac, Queensland, Workshop
- 3rd May 2024 – Graduation Central Queensland – Ilfracombe
Towns then move into stage two of the program and host their own Communities with Community Opportunity Workshops (C.O.W.S)
