Regional WA
Shelter WA received a Lotterywest grant to develop a regional engagement framework to suit nine WA regions (Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Midwest, Goldfields-Esperance, Wheatbelt, Peel, South West, Great Southern).
Project – Regional Engagement Framework
This project builds on existing regional work and engagement undertaken by Shelter WA including regional workshops for the WA Housing Strategy, stakeholder satisfaction surveys and member feedback. Work in 2021/22 will be focused around:
- Researching regional engagement models, building baseline data on each region and identifying strengths and improvements.
- Better understanding regional issues and strengths to inform policy and advocacy.
- Mapping regional stakeholders, networks and responses, tailored to the area.
- Sector development and strengthening relationships.
- Recommendations for regional engagement model/s going forward.
