1 LGMA Queensland Annual Conference 2018 TWIN WATERS September 2018

2 PROGRAMME Over the two days, delegates will consider a number of mega-trends likely to impact Queensland local government over coming decades. They will also hear from a number of councils who have taken action towards business, organisational and environmental regeneration. And finally, you will have the opportunity to consider re-engineering the structure of local government. How you would create a new local government system and entities which meet current and future needs of communities. How would a d sector look? Our People, Our Organisations, Our Community and Our Land Increasing pressure on the environment, our people and our organisations has contributed to long-term negative outcomes for all. Workforce productivity reduces in the face of increased stress and burnout is not as rare as we would like. In many communities our land is struggling to cope with pressures on water, issues of managing waste and the conflicts between development and preservation priorities. Climate change and the associated increases in weather volatility puts pressure on communities to deal with natural disasters and, in others, the slow burn of sea level rise, increased aridity and fauna extinction is a challenge for leaders in communities. While sustainability and sustainable development are at the forefront of strategy and planning, for many pieces of the puzzle, it may be too little, too late. Instead, the agenda must shift to regeneration and regenerative development. In some instances, including some environmental matters, communities and employees, we have to go beyond sustaining what is now and replenish what was there or create something entirely new. This is the challenge of regeneration. But despite these challenges, there are local governments across the state who have risen to the challenge and are actively seeking to introduce regenerative measures. Some are well advanced, others just starting off. This conference seeks to look beyond the next ten years to consider the longer-term challenges local government and the communities we serve will face. Through future thinking and mega-trend analysis, delegates will have an opportunity to explore what we are on track to be, what we could be and what we need to avoid being, as we approach the middle of this century. Because what we choose to do now, will have a significant impact on the future that our children and grandchildren hope to enjoy. Join LGMA in 2018 to refresh your mind and body and consider what your community, the land and the people need from your organisation in the future.

3 Schedule K E Y N OT E P R E S E N T E R D O I N G T H E U N N AT U R A L AC T Sohail Inayatullah Bruce Sullivan Professor Sohail Inayatullah is the first Unesco Chair in Futures. He is a political scientist/futurist at Tamkang University, Taiwan and the University of the Sunshine Coast. He is also an associate at Melbourne Business School, the University of Melbourne and is the Director of Metafuture. org, an international think-tank focused on creating alternative and preferred futures. He has lived in Brisbane and Mooloolaba since 1994 and can be seen frequently body surfing at beaches throughout South East Queensland. Bruce Sullivan is one of Australia s most dynamic and sought-after keynote speakers and is a proven performer in achieving results through people for over 27 years. His most recent book is Asia 2038: Ten disruptions that change everything. Regeneration in a time of disruption Local communities rural and urban are faced with numerous disruptions: how we work, what we eat, who we are neighbours with, what technologies and sources of energy we use, just to name a few. In times of dramatic change, if we are not emotionally and mentally prepared for these alternative futures, we tend to avoid change or build walls to isolate ourselves from the shifts we don t yet understand. And even when we prepare well and anticipate the future, existing cultures prevent change happening and lead to disappointment and loss of hope. This interactive presentation will include case studies of foresight that enable participants to articulate first and second order implications of disruption and help create a new narrative that can lead communities to engage for the decades ahead. Bruce has worked with individuals, families, businesses and communities providing education and opportunities for personal improvement. It is this experience that has given Bruce a unique understanding of our ability to relate to one another in the workplace and at home. This is what sets his work apart and gives practical and timely insight into the human side of the corporate environment. He brings to the professional speaking environment a diverse and successful career. Managing his own businesses since his teens, he has confirmed his business acumen in the areas of retailing, service, wholesale operations and real estate. By age 24 he had established his own million-dollar network of businesses. Bruce will engage and inspire you to do what it takes to be the best that you can possibly be in a world where change is constant and relationships are fragile. 1.
