Resolution: Moved by Councillor Andrew Fechner:
2. Ipswich Resilient Leadership and Mentoring Program
This is a report concerning the Ipswich Resilient Leadership and Mentoring Program, a comprehensive program to help build the resilience of community centre leaders within the city. It is aimed to make our communities more resilient in the face of adverse events and disasters and further develop community leadership across the neighbourhood and community centres.
Often described as the heart of a community, neighbourhood and community centres play a significant role in providing friendly, localised access to individual, family and community services across Ipswich. During disasters, neighbourhood and community centres provide a range of services to a wide cross-section of the impacted community.
The Ipswich Resilience Leadership and Mentoring Program will bring together up to 30 neighbourhood and community centre leaders across the region for a series of Masterclasses to become Resilience Mentors. During the masterclasses participants will design a Resilience Leadership Model to strengthen the collective adaptive capacity across the city to manage sudden change and disruption, create community connectedness and to flourish as a resilient region
The program provider, Healthy Practices Consulting, has been procured through council’s procurement process. The total value of the contract with Healthy Practices Consulting is $48,400.
