LandCorp launched its C2030 Portal at the Big Ideas Festival in Geraldton last weekend, providing the local community with an opportunity to be actively involved in a discussion about the future of their region.
People representing a broad cross-section of the community stepped inside the C2030 Portal to share their ideas on camera when it touched-down at Centro Northgate for its debut appearance.
The Portal uses easy to operate web-cam technology to record people’s ideas on what they would like to see in their towns and communities over the next 20 years and beyond.
LandCorp Chief Executive Officer Ross Holt said the Portal’s debut in Geraldton was a great opportunity to engage with the community.
“It was terrific to see such a broad range of people visiting the Portal over the course of the day, representing what really is one of the fastest growing regions in the State,” Mr Holt said.
“People talked about the sort of community they envisaged for the future, including green corridors, transport, housing and development, open space and sustainability.
“We will be sharing these ideas with the City of Geraldton Greenough, which is keen to use them in helping plan the future of the region.
“The C2030 Portal is a great opportunity for everyone to put their stamp on the direction for future development.”
Mr Holt said that after Geraldton, the C2030 Portal would be would be a feature at future C2030 events around the state.
He said C2030 was an initiative of LandCorp to encourage community conversations about the future of WA.
Also as part of the Big Ideas Festival, LandCorp sponsored an event called Hypothetical 2029 and Beyond, hosted by the ABC’s Verity James.
Held at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre, the event featured a panel of five planning experts and local identities discussing their ideas on the future of the region in the year 2029. Some of those ideas were captured on the C2030 blog http://c2030landcorp.wordpress.com
C2030 uses a number of online communications platforms, including the website, blog, Facebook page, Twitter account, LinkedIn group, and now the C2030 Portal.
