Entrepreneurial Discovery Process
Throughout July 2023 Entrepreneurial Discovery Workshops were held in Yarram to explore four of the Innovation Opportunities identified in the Yarram and District Context Analysis Report:
Strzelecki Koala
Working Holiday Makers
Outdoor Recreation
Creative Yarram
At the conclusion of these workshops, support was received to progress all four opportunities to the next stage: Innovation Working Groups.
The Working Groups are beginning in November, 2023 and will continue through 2024 or until the projects are complete.
Projects
-
Strzelecki Koala
If we build a Strzelecki Koala conservation centre to protect the koala and its genomic integrity and habitat while educating and conducting research, we will generate employment, community pride, and international recognition.
-
Working Holiday Makers
If we create a Working Holiday Maker agency to connect workers with employers, housing, and social opportunities, we will generate revenue for the local economy and add international culture and skills to the community.
-
Outdoor Recreation
If we collect a set of unusual outdoor recreation assets that appeal to passionate users that are also beginner-friendly, we will improve the community's quality of life and drive tourism from across the globe.
-
Creative Yarram
If we develop a creative arts alliance that has a physical space, permanent staffing, and certificate- level training, we will provide pathways and passions for locals and an improvement in community health and wellbeing.
