Old Petrie Town and the Pine River Heritage Museum might seem unlikely places for a workshop on the mysteries of Strategic Planning but what a great day we had. The hardy and courageous group of participants from all walks of life from around the region was up for the challenge right from the get go and enthusiastically embraced the topic. Along the way we managed to explore principles, ideas, stories from the front line, case studies and have fun. Thanks to host Moreton Bay Regional Council and the agency of Flying Arts Alliance for making it happen. It was a pleasure to facilitate. Old Petrie Town and the Museum are definitely in my diary for another visit; a must see destination.
