Collaborative Governance

Regenerative Communities collaborated with local collective impact organisation Hands Up Mallee to create a new Collaborative Governance model for community-led change. Rhae resourced the Collaborative Governance group to develop and design their own ways of communication, finding shared values and creating decision making processes.

In June 2024 this report was produced to share the story of how the project developed, in hope that we can inspire some new ways of approaching governance for other organisations.


July 2023

The Hands Up Mallee Collaborative Governance project seeks to create a new way of governance that is inclusive of the people the organisation serves. We have a diverse range of cultures, genders, ages and abilities across our group.

We use regenerative frameworks to design and evaluate our processes. Each meeting starts with a session outdoors where I guide activities to connect us with self, the environment and each other. We aim to enter our meetings with a being state of openness, connectivity and trust.

Read a little more about how the project is going in the Journey Map report which was created in July 2023 to evaluate the evolution of the process.
