Noosa, the Queensland holiday resort, is hard to improve upon. Its natural beauty is legendary and its people are among the most environmentally aware anywhere in the world.
Yet a number of locals led by Lew Brennan and Charles Shewring believe that they can improve on the long term sustainability of the town by creating the Noosa Institute for Socio Economic Research. It was Lew, a Noosa City Councillor, who invited us last year and again ten days ago to address a gathering of local decision makers.
Council, University, environmental and business groups spent a day with us at the Noosa Blue Resort to discuss Enterprise Facilitation® and its implication for the community and the city. NISER also organized a meeting in Crows Nest in the highlands, one hour drive from Brisbane, Queensland’ capital city.
The day saw many representatives from a number of rural country towns attending our seminar. In particular the Crows Nest and Rosalie Shires attended and committed themselves to follow up soon with an organizational meeting to discuss our method for community capacity building and local economic development.
