Hervey Bay Community Listening Event on Butchulla Country

Local groups Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre, Parents for Climate Action, Hervey Bay Anglican Church and Wide Bay Burnett Environment Council are joining with Qld Community alliance and 20 other places across Queensland to find out more about the community’s needs and priorities so that we can act together to transform people’s lives.

Come and join us to:

• Be heard, share your stories - your experiences and your knowledge

• Connect with others and learn from their stories

• Build the relationships to collaborate and take action together

What is it?

• A welcoming and safe opportunity to have your say and make it count!

• First, we share a meal, meet people and chat.

• Then we form groups of about 7 to share stories - about the pressures we are facing and how they have affected us, or our family and friends.

• There is a group leader to make sure it all goes smoothly: everyone will have a chance to share, and stories will be recorded with permission.

At this Local Listening you will be invited to share about:

1. An issue that is important to you or causes hardship or challenge for you or those you love,

2. Energy affordability, renewables, and disaster recovery,

3. Workplace rights, and

4. Social isolation, loneliness and community infrastructure.

Arrive from 2:30pm for afternoon tea, before a 3pm start, There will be a variety of dietary options available! See you there!
