Greater Whitsunday Communities is a strategic regional social and community development organisation in the Whitsunday, Isaac and Mackay region. We work with people to enhance their capacity and quality of life within their community. Our work is primarily underpinned by participatory community development practice, a concept that supports communities to have a voice in the development of sustainable practices. These sustainable practices include social responsibility, environmental stewardship, political participation, and economic stability. As a trusted, independent voice, we work with individuals, community, businesses, industry and government to create positive social change. This work enables our communities and regions to: enhance the foundation for economic development, supports people to exercise their rights and responsibilities, improve access to resources for our communities, strengthen the capacity of local businesses and institutions, and gives everyone the chance to contribute to a better society.
