About the Program

This course provides an introduction to Regional and Economic Development via Community Wealth Building. Community Wealth Building is a fast-growing regional and economic development approach that improves the prosperity, wellbeing, self-reliance and resilience of your region and local people.

This course is designed for leaders and practitioners from government, NGOs and community organisations seeking a strategic understanding of the benefits, opportunity and solutions offered by community wealth building.

As a regional and economic development model it aims to:

  • Strengthen your region and local community
    By increasing local development outcomes from economic activity in the region
  • Make financial power work for local places
    By harnessing and redirect existing capital and wealth back into the regional economy
  • Anchor industry, enterprises and jobs locally
    By increasing businesses and jobs that are anchored locally and reinvest in the region and its employees
  • Enable local investment and wealth building
    By empowering local people to invest in, have ownership and a stake in the local economy, infrastructure, land and enterprises
  • Create diverse, stable, resilient and adaptive local economies and communities
    Through regional and individual asset building and wealth diversification
  • Build deep relationships and commitment to the long-term aspirations of the region

It has proven to bring real benefits to local towns and people, tangible improvements in economic, social, cultural and environmental outcomes, and a growing number of places across the Australia and the world are adopting this approach.
