The first of many community conversations started have begun!

It has been a busy start to the latter half of 2023 as the Institute’s new Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth (CLLMM) Research Centre began its establishment phase on 1 July 2023. With the hiring of 4 new staff members, the Centre has hit the ground running with the start of several community and key party engagements.

Coinciding with the launch of the new CLLMM Research Centre logo and website, the first of many community conversations were held at The Alexandrina Business Hub in Goolwa. The first conversation focused on small businesses within the region introducing the research centre and a community survey. The conversation was a great success with over 15 local businesses in attendance.

In addition, the community survey was the first of many processes that will help the Research Centre understand community and First Nations priorities for research and engagement activities at the CLLMM Research Centre. The survey was also released across a number of local media outlets and has already gained traction across the CLLMM region.
