Pathways to Futures

In 2015 during intense and ongoing drought RAPAD engaged with the University of Southern Queensland’s Institute for Resilient Regions to work with the regional community to work on creative solutions and approaches to support the region through the drought and beyond.

By working cooperatively across the region with key stakeholders in each local authority district the aim of the workshop series was to assist in strengthening community resilience by elevating leadership focus beyond the current drought emergency to the opportunities that might be developed sustainably and which inevitably would involve innovation of some form or another.

Project’s value to CWQ

Facilitated by Professor John Cole OAM workshops were held in Barcaldine, Boulia, Jundah, Blackall and Longreach between October 2015 and February 2016.

The workshops were attended by community members who focused on these three strategic questions:
1. Where are we now?
2. What do we want to go for?
3. How will be the best way to get there?

This work formed the foundation for the Smart Central West digital strategy.

The full list of the outcomes captured as a whole region and by the workshop are available in the publications listed below.
