regenerateDelegates Programme
regenerateOur People, Our Organisations, Our Community and Our Land
Refresh your mind and body and consider what your community, the land and the people need
from our organisation in the future.
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.
President's Message
WELCOME TO THE 2018 LGMA QUEENSLAND ANNUAL CONFERENCE, REGENERATE!
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Sunshine Coast. As the conference theme suggests, we are
looking beyond the next ten years to ascertain the challenges of the future to enable a shift to
regeneration and regenerative development for our councils and communities. This conference is LGMA
Queensland’s flagship event – an essential component of the Queensland local government calendar.
In keeping with tradition, there are many opportunities for delegates to network, meet our valued
corporate partners and explore the Sunshine Coast and its many attractions. The idyllic beaches, national
parks and adventure activities are all readily accessible for you to get out and about in the fresh air.
The 2018 social programme commences with the President’s Welcome Reception on Tuesday
afternoon, the ever-popular yet competitive Beach vs. Bush Cricket Match (great fun for players
and spectators alike) on Wednesday afternoon and to close proceedings on Thursday, the Gala
Dinner. We will ensure you have a chance to broaden your networks, share your experiences
and views and consider what you will take back to share with your council and teams.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. I would
also like to show my sincere appreciation for our corporate partners and suppliers
whose significant contributions greatly assist us in delivering a conference each year
that showcases and celebrates Queensland councils and their communities.
Have a great couple of days and I look forward to catching up with you!

PROGRAMME Throughout 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 councils who have taken action towards regeneration
in a number of key areas.
And finally, you will have the opportunity to consider re-engineering the
structure of local government. How you would create a new local government

How would a regenerated sector look?

Sohail InayatullahProfessor 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.
He can be seen frequently body surfing at
beaches throughout South East Queensland.
His most recent book is Asia 2038: Ten disruptions that change everything.
Local communities - rural and urban -
are faced with numerous disruptions
in how we work, what we eat, who we
are neighbours with, what technologies
and sources of energy we use.
In times of dramatic change, if we are not
emotionally and mentally prepared for these
alternative futures, we tend to run for the hills
or build walls. And even if we prepare well and
anticipate the future, culture can eat strategy
for breakfast, and thus, loss of hope results.
This interactive presentation will review
case studies of foresight that work
and allow participants to articulate
first and second order implications
of disruptions and help create a new
narrative that can lead communities
to engage for the decades ahead.
In practical terms, we will focus on five areas:
1. The currently articulated
futures of communities
2. Emerging disruptions
3. Alternative futures
4. Desired visions
5. New narratives

and sought-after keynote speakers and is a proven
performer in achieving results through people.
For over 27 years, 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
