What drives good community development practices are honest and strong partnerships between people.

Community matters often attract a range of people within a community – local leaders, community members, private businesses, small businesses, local government and state government. These people might share the same interest in a matter but may have different opinions or ideas about how the matter should be resolved, explored or addressed.

This is where the careful skill of establishing and supporting collaborative partnerships comes into play.

“Collaboration requires partnering participants to share not just ideas and resources, but also power and authority. Each participant must be willing to change their attitude to bring a mindset of willingness to create mutually beneficial change.”

The team at Greater Whitsunday Communities are experienced in facilitating successful partnerships within communities using a range of networks and frameworks techniques. We have been fortunate to work on a number of community projects over the years, that have used collaborative partnerships to address some of the more complex social issues impacting our region.

We are supporting several active collaborative partnerships across the Greater Whitsunday Communities, read more about these partnerships and projects.
