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.

The Social Deck acknowledges the traditional custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and community. Our staff live and work on the lands of many First Nations peoples, including the Gubbi Gubbi or Kabi Kabi people, the Turrbal and Yuggera people, the Bundjalung people, the Ngarigo and Ngunnawal people and the Wadawurrung people. These peoples have lived on and cared for these lands for thousands of generations, and their sovereignty has never been ceded. We pay our respects to them and their cultures, and to elders past and present.
