It is always inspiring to spend time with people who are motivated and passionate about re/building their communities to be more sustainable.
Participants at our recent Community Sustainability Frameworks (CSFs) workshop were one such group. Our afternoon was spent at the beautiful and historic Northern Rivers Conservatorium in Lismore. The group discussed the role of CSFs in sustainable re/development of the Northern Rivers region.
Sustainability values and overarching domains, sustainable urban designs and what is required from the entire community, and beyond, to implement and maintain sustainable communities were discussed. Current global to local examples of communities and governments changing towards sustainability were showcased. This provided the opportunity for participants to analyse possibilities for re/development in the Northern Rivers region and their own communities.
The workshop finished with a sustainability mapping exercise. Ideas emerged around permaculture and home ownership. There was discussion about decent pay and work, along with challenging the status quo of housing development models. Other topics included sustainable transport, resilient community spaces, especially emergency evacuation sites. Renewable energy and opportunities for human/non-human interaction in thriving habitats were also considered, among many more.
