- Community visioning “is simply a process by which a community envisions
the future it wants, and plans how to achieve it.”
- The process typically involves tracking emerging trends and issues,
exploring alternative futures, charting preferred directions and putting
the vision into action.
- Ames, S. (ed) 2001, A Guide to Community Visioning, Revised Edition,
Oregon Visions Project,
- American Planning Association, Oregon:7.

- The Visioning Process will seek your input on the following:
- What do you want your area to look like in the future?
- What areas should be developed and how?
- What areas should be protected?

- WHY ‘REGIONAL’ SUSTAINABILITY?
- Sustainability should be pursued at all levels – local, regional,
national and international – however it is believed that the regional
level is the most appropriate scale at which to pursue it. Reasons for
this include:
- • Variation in land, water and vegetation is less distinct;
- • Useful scale to plan for environmental and natural resource
management;
- • Influence of predominant industry/s within a particular region e.g.
mining, and tourism
- • Local communities exist within and relate to a region – it is part of
their
- identity; and lastly,
- • Many government services are delivered and administered regionally.

- SENSE OF PLACE
- Place is the intersection where ecological, economic and social worlds
meet. It is the site where communities and individuals construct
sustainable [or unsustainable] landscapes from past experiences and
future intentions”.
- Earthscan Publications, London.

- “To facilitate the development of
strong regional identity, each region needs to write its story.
- The story would elaborate on the
‘sense of place’ or ‘belonging’ that characterizes the regions.
- These stories need to incorporate
environmental, socio- economic and cultural histories of the region and
would improve understanding of potential factors that may enhance or
obstruct regional sustainability.
- They will aim to facilitate a
shared understanding of the past, and the development of a shared
vision of sustainability for each region’s future.
- These ‘stories’ would ideally be
created as part of Regional Sustainability Strategies.”
- Armstrong, R. 2002.

- “Propelled by the question ‘What
do you value in your place?’….the implication is that ‘your’ place
belongs to you [or in an Indigenous sense ‘you belong to the place’],
and through this recognition comes responsibility for it”.
- … without a strong sense of place, and subsequent sense of identity and
belonging, you cannot begin to seek social justice or environmental
change.
- Sense of place can be a powerful force in shaping development if it can
be facilitated.

|
- Much of current decision-making,
planning and development does not incorporate a region’s sense of place
or community aspirations. With the telling of a community’s story and
vision, developers, local authorities and others are able to understand
the important qualities of a locality, and set out to enhance, rather
than exacerbate, these important regional values and thereby contribute
to the sustainability of the region.
- Community story telling and visioning processes do not replace existing
plans or policies, but aim to enhance and extend the roles and values
that they have. Ultimately, however, it is up to each regional community
to decide how it will integrate story-telling and community visioning
with current regional activities.
- “Most decisions about our surroundings are ‘taken’ by other people,
sometimes on our behalf, sometimes despite our needs – they are removed
from us”.
- Community ownership is important to the durability and effectiveness of
- sustainability planning.
