About Living Communities
Living Communities™ fixes the problem not solved by traditional regional economic development. That is, keeping capital and control of the local economy in the hands of the community. Developed by the not-for-profit organisation, Living Towns, it focuses on working with communities to find where capital is leaking from the local economy and then encourages local enterprise to plug those leaks.
Our Vision
Rural and regional Australia, particularly small towns, are vital elements in the well being of the nation. Although often ignored and dismissed as being irrelevant and dispensable, we believe that without small communities the nation in general is at risk of decline.
