Mackay Community Development Strategy

Cover page of the community development strategy, includes a photo of two boys and a woman in the rainforest, the Mackay Council logo and text saying "Community".

We worked with Mackay Regional Council and stakeholders to develop the 2017 Mackay Region Community Development Strategy. This included an extensive engagement and co-design process to create a community-driven strategy and two-year action plan.

As part of the project we undertook a desktop review and report of best practice community development approaches and community-driven development initiatives.

We gained insights and input from the community and stakeholders using qualitative in-depth interviews, community surveys and the facilitation of a co-design workshop to develop the new strategy with stakeholders. Participants were involved in identifying and prioritising actions, as well as what the Community Development Strategy should cover for a collective future for the region.
