Aboriginal Community Strategic Planning & Policy Unit

What We Do

Our Priorities

      1.  The COMPACT developed by the partnership in 2003
     identified 12 strategic areas for action. Action plans
     for each of these strategic areas were agreed
     and are outlined in the Strategic Directions document.
     The family is central to all of the strategies.

2.   In 2007, the Community’s partnership with Government
 identified the following as key priorities:

            ·    Service mapping

            ·    Evaluation framework

  b. Cultural Enhancement

            ·    Cultural Literacy Unit

            ·    Media strategy

            ·    Youth engagement

            ·    Early Years

            ·    Schools Years

            ·    Post-school options

The local Aboriginal leadership identified the first two of these as central to achieving the vision.
The SPPU was tasked to concentrate their efforts on these ie.

a. Governance

b. Cultural Enhancement

Community engagement is central to achieving these priorities, which is why the
Community Engagement Team was established.
A range of surveys have been undertaken as part of our engagement strategy.
