LCSDP Objectives and Activities

7. To consolidate the LCSDP’s strong collaborative partnership of active members to support, resource, advocate and take responsibility to achieve outcomes.

Achievements

The LCSDP Leadership Group facilitated the launch of the LCSDP in 2002 and the establishment of the LCSDP office in 2004. 

The Leadership Group sets and monitors the overall direction of LCSDP steers the management of related activities.  The project office is responsible for the day-to-day coordination of related activities and ongoing community engagement.

The LCSDP governance structure has evolved in a way appropriate to its own identity and processes. 

The original LCSDP concept was to form a structured legal entity to house the activities of the LCSDP.  The original concept was changed by the Leadership Group. 

The change reflects that perceived need to bring people, industry and government together within a flexible and dynamic structure that meets the requirements and expectations of the LCSDP’s community, industry and government agency partners. 

This structure has focussed on forming industry and government partnerships to gain resources to implement the projects related to the LCSDP.
