Community Engagement

Here's an idea!

The Future of Kyogle...

A project designed to provide an opportunity for the creative expression of ideas.
 
HERE’S AN IDEA! attracted 12 entries.
 
Although there is overlap, if categorised we would say six of these were arts-focused, three natural environment-focused focused and three community focused.
 
Some ideas would require extensive planning, collaboration with all levels of government and significant funding. Others could be up and away quite quickly on people’s energy, skills and passion.
The People’s Choice vote may not have been conducted to the standard of the Australian Electoral Commission, but it was a rigorous process.
