Newsletters

What can’t the data tell us? Our August newsletter explores community audits and how local skills, aspirations and experience can inform better strategic decisions.

How do organisations navigate complex community conversations well? Our July newsletter explores First Nations engagement, reconciliation, listening and the relationships that underpin meaningful community engagement.

Good engagement is about more than consultation. Our June newsletter explores community engagement, trust, relationship-building and the realities of creating meaningful participation in regional communities.

Creative organisations think differently, and that’s a strength. Our May newsletter explores strategy and governance in the arts, regional collaboration and how creative organisations can turn complexity into clear direction.

Good governance helps build strong regional organisations and stronger communities. Our April newsletter explores governance, risk management, board capability and a new governance capacity-building initiative for the Great Southern.

What happens when we look beyond individual sectors and see the bigger system? Our March newsletter explores systems thinking, cross-sector collaboration and the emerging opportunities shaping regional WA.

We’re kicking off 2026 with expanded evaluation and impact measurement services, new community engagement tools, funding opportunities and plenty happening across rural, regional and remote WA.

Our final newsletter for 2025 reflects on a year of conversations across regional WA and why strong networks, cross-sector collaboration and different perspectives matter for stronger regional communities.

How do we keep more value circulating in regional communities? Our October newsletter explores local economic development, circular economies, Aboriginal business and the everyday choices that help regional communities thrive.

From grassroots leadership to the visitor economy, our September newsletter explores what helps regional communities thrive, plus regional funding opportunities, insights and some great people doing good work across WA.

What’s the real value of an organisation to its community? In our August newsletter, we explore measuring social and cultural value, share funding opportunities for WA businesses and community groups, and unpack why incorporation matters.
