Sustainable Management of the Helidon Hills
I led a three-person team in coordinating the Sustainable Management of the Helidon Hills project in 1998-99. The project was acclaimed for the way in which it engaged the multiple knowledges of the community and other stakeholders in planning for the complex land use and management issues faced by one of the largest remaining areas of mostly continuous bushland in south-east Queensland, as discussed in the following RealKM Magazine articles:
- Case studies in complexity (part 6): Tacit knowledge transfer and deliberative conversations in the Helidon Hills.
- Case studies in complexity (part 7): Problem-solving communication skills and lateral thinking in the Helidon Hills.
The project including preparation of the Sustainable Management of the Helidon Hills Management Plan.
