10-year Regional Participation Action Plan for the Wimmera Southern Mallee
In 2023, the Centre for Participation (CfP) and partners recognised the need to bolster community participation across the region to address evolving challenges and opportunities facing communities.
With support from State and Federal Government, CfP engaged the community to develop a comprehensive 10-year Regional participation action plan aimed at enhancing community participation across the Wimmera Southern Mallee. The plan was developed with community through interviews, community workshops and a ‘Community Drivers Group’.
The Wimmera Southern Mallee community clearly expressed structural and social barriers that are getting in the way of supporting all people to actively participate in the community.
They also expressed a clear 10-year vision of a region with thriving community participation and identified key areas for action required to get there.
