The update process showed what value can derive from involving community meaningfully in developing whole-of-state targets. We have not achieved all the elements we wanted, but this has been a landmark process that sets the foundation for ongoing community engagement. For organisations such as ours, the plan gives us a focus for open discussion with state and local governments as well as other community groups, particularly for low income communities.

Community Congress

| Print |

The Community Congress was held on 8 July 2006 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Invitations were sent to all who had participated in the process to date. The Congress attracted approximately 400 participants, including many senior people from community groups, the business sector, state and local government.

The Update Team put a series of ‘propositions’ to the Congress, reflecting ten recurring themes we had identified through the initial round of community consultations, and covering a range of whole-of-plan issues as well as suggestions for changes to specific targets.

The Congress confirmed that the Update Team’s propositions were an accurate representation of the issues raised in the community consultations. Congress participants were also able to consider and comment on the first progress report on SASP which had been released by the SASP Audit Committee in June 2006. A series of workshops in the afternoon of the Congress also began the process of prioritising the recommendations for changes to targets.
