Reform Wollongong City Council

Here’s an idea for those of us whose Admin side is over-developed at the expense of our creative side:

We need to engage with creative people – creative people who, while concerned about what they see happening to life,  presently would not attend Admin dominated meetings, etc  – and ask them what sort of arrangements they think would improve creative input into local management of community business.

A key to achieving this is to create a context where they would feel empowered to speak their minds and share their insights and thoughts.

I think a lot of the modern forms of organisation work in the other direction – making creative people less likely to actively participate.

Gaining their input could save us Admin dominated types some of the effort of trying to imagine what new arrangements we need to re-balance life in our communities.
