Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership has been co-developing a Queensland place-based network, aimed at ensuring that kids and places in Queensland have what they need to thrive.
The Network sets out to increase efficiencies, drive innovation and future-proof our Queensland place based eco-system in ways that:
• sustain long-term funding commitments
• put community central to leadership and decision making
• create collective structures for system stewardship that is adaptable and resilient against the challenges that arise from election cycles or unforeseen events
• allow for alignment of strategies, polices, practices and funding across government, funders and communities
• share infrastructure that enables places to access specialised support while reducing costs.
Vision
Over a 10-year horizon, place-based approaches will become embedded and sustainable through systems change — enabled by strong networks, shared learning, community-led action, and coordinated investment.
Queensland will have a thriving place-based ecosystem capable of tackling complex challenges collectively and innovatively.
Key elements with include:
Shared governance – establish collaborative governance for stewarding investment
Growing and amplifying – invest in shared infrastructure to support coordination, learning and capability, leveraging existing capabilities
Systems reform – facilitate rich learning environments to catalyse system innovation
