Participation, deliberation, collaboration, transformation. Disaster-impacted communities provide extraordinary opportunities for socially innovative and ecologically resilient rebuilding. Stakeholder-inclusive deliberation liberates creativity and the potential inherent in community renewal. Deliberation can reconcile 'top down' other-organising 'command and control' with 'peer to peer' self-organising 'connectedness and collaboration.'
With Mara Bun (Green Cross Aus), Frankie Maclennan (Dept of Sust & Environ, VIC) Jim Varghese (Former Dir. Premiers Dept, QLD) Daryl Taylor (KinglakeRanges Community Resilience Committee) Nic Hunter (Community Engagement Consultant) & Maryella Hatfield (Film-maker 'The Future Makers')
