How does your region keep its money working locally?
July 8 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Some regional communities have worked out how to keep the value they create circulating locally. Is this your region? Tell us more.
Join us for a national conversation on local investment.
What you’ll get out of the hour:
- Connect with like-minded people from across Australia who share an interest in driving change on this challenge
- Help identify and nominate regions and case studies already taking real steps on the challenge
- Contribute to what a meaningful local goal for this challenge could look like with the conversation continuing at the Social Impact in the Regions conference in September in Stanthorpe
- Add your name to those making a meaningful contribution to change
Inspiring this Challenge
Across Australia, communities are demonstrating that collective ownership works. Community banks, cooperative enterprises, community-owned stores and pubs, First Nations land and enterprise. But these models remain the exception rather than the rule. Most regional economic development thinking focuses on attracting investment from outside rather than building ownership from within.
We’d like to hear from communities that are finding ways to connect individual enterprise, shared capital, and collective infrastructure so that the value their region produces stays in it.
