HomepageLCSDP Objectives and Activities
5. To develop knowledge networks to foster and share the learning required for sustainable development for the far southwest of Victoria and beyond.
Achievements
It is increasingly recognised that sustainable development of regional and local communities is dependent on building resilient communities, businesses and environments.
The development of knowledge networks is central to enable communities and businesses to successfully transform themselves towards sustainable development in a globally competitive world.
The LCSDP Masterplan 2002 defined sustainable regional development as resilient communities developing robust structures and networks of engaged people and organisations capable of learning and adapting to change, surprises and shocks.
The LCSDP Leadership Group identified the need to investigate the potential of establishing a learning centre that will manage the extensive relationships, research partnerships and future developments that the LCSDP has facilitated.
The LCSDP Church Site Restoration & Active Reconciliation Group in 2006.
Current Activities
The Alcoa Foundation has provided resources to prepare a development plan for a learning centre.
RMIT - Global Sustainability is engaged to conduct the research and consultations required to prepare the plan and evaluation what options are available.
Once the plan has been completed by its scheduled date of January 2009, the LCSDP will actively seek support and resources for the centre’s establishment.
