‘Community
planning is the
future of local
government’
(Tony Blair, British Prime Minister)
![Page 3: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
‘A process where the people (i.e. the community) arrive at group vision, priorities and actions to
achieve positive change that will enhance the physical, social and
economic well being of the community. It is a dynamic, interactive and participatory process intended to make the
quality of life better for all members of the community’.

Excited About Community Planning
1. Builds a healthy and connected community by engaging residents in the ‘buinsess of the community’.
2. Reminds us that – ‘the wisdom of locals always exceeds the knowledge of the experts’.
3. Proves as important as the product (i.e. the pplan) – what happens to participants through participation.

process is owned by the community and usually aided by local government support and facilitation
scope is a ‘whole of community wellbeing’ priorities rather than on one particular issue or project
focus is both on the needs / deficiencies and assets / strengths of the community
widespread community input is achieved via a
range of participatory initiatives (not just one
community meeting)
Basic Community Planning Elements
![Page 6: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
community priorities are identified democratically and through
consensus
a community plan is provided outlining
community values, strategic priorities,
tasks, implementation requirements and
resources
planning is linked to implementation and action
a regular review process occurs to evaluate programs against
indicators and update priorities.
![Page 7: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Where are we now? Where do we want to
be? How might we get
there? Which way is best? How can we ensure
arrival? How do we know when
we have got there?

‘Communities have never been built upon their deficiencies.
Building community has always depended upon
mobilizing the capacities and assets of a people and a place.
That is why a map of community assets is necessary if local people are to find the
way toward empowerment and renewal.’
(J. McKnight & J. Kretzmann)
![Page 13: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
‘In the early 1950’s when the demand for housing became acute
the State Housing Commission planned a new suburb in the Melville district to be called
Willagee which was the aboriginal name for a lake in the district.
The concept was for a population of 6,000 to serve as a dormitory
for an area then beginning to become industrialized.’
(p 134, The City of Melville: From Bushveld to Expanding Metropolis)

WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS IN TWO WAYS– 1. What is wrong with our community?
What problems can we fix?What are the needs of our community?What is broken?
OR
2. What are the strengths and assets of our community?
Share a time when you felt our community was at it’s best?
What do you value most about our community?
What is the essence of our community that makes it
unique and strong?
![Page 16: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In every community something works.
Change can be achieved by
identifying what works and focusing on doing more of
what works.
![Page 17: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
‘Creating a positive future begins in human
conversation. The simplest and most powerful
investment any member of a community or an
organization may make in renewal is to begin talking
with other people as though the answers mattered’.
(Adapted fromWho Will Tell the People by William Greider)
![Page 18: Community Planning - Presentation Slides – Peter Kenyon Director Bank of IDEAS (Initiatives for the Development of Enterprising Action and Strategies)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5517010255034603568b4fd2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
‘In community,
conversation is our
primary medium for
making sense of our
world, discovering what
we value, sharing
knowledge and imaging
better futures’.
