1. Research
and Development of the stories
In developing the strategy
last year we identified three key iconic stories
The Killers of Eden,
Meeting of the Waters
In the Shadow of the Mountains
To explore more of these visit http://sapphirecoaststories.blogspot.com/
Or download
the complete strategy from this blog.
Two other
stories Naturally Inspired and the Bundian Way were also identified as having significant
potential and requiring further
research and development. A report on the developments already
underway with these two will be available in a later posting.
We now intend to add another layer to the material already developed.
The information will be pitched to align with the expectations of
an educated, environmentally aware target market, matching the profile of the
Brand Australia ‘experience seeker‘
This project
will produce 10 succinct (5000 word maximum), high quality, authentic,
digitally presented information suitable for ready adaption as downloadable
packages on the Australia‘s Coastal Wilderness and Sapphire Coast Tourism
websites.
The project is lumped into
5 themes, each of which will addressed by an author under the oversight of a
community reference group convened by the Heritage Committee:
Marine Heritage
Cetaceans of the Coastal Wilderness.
Marine Richness – mixing the currents
Historic
Heritage
Old Tom and the History of Whaling
Life in the 19th Century
Geoheritage
The Geology and Landscapes of the Three Mountains
Gondwana Splits – the Geomorphology of the south east coast
Indigenous Heritage
Bundian Way – the ancient highway
Balawan, Mumbula and Gulaga, the Sacred Mountains
Cultural
Heritage
Nature, Inspiration and Art
Music and the Coastal Wilderness
The authors will undertake research based on the available
literature and, where relevant, through consultation with experts and the
community holders of information related to the iconic stories in the Heritage
Strategy.
The Working group
would like to hear from anyone interested in joining any of the specific
community references groups.
We will be inviting tenders for the
authors for the themes in late November so if your are interested in an invitation let us know at: heritage@sapphirecoast.com.au
2. Develop and implement social media and meeting strategy
We are looking for
some one to take up a contract position working with the project coordinator to
help facilitate the social media and meeting strategy throughout the project.
We are looking for someone who is living in the region, who is social media
savvy, has an eye for design, has excellent written and communication skills as
well as complimentary self management, time management and project management
skills. We envisage that the position would be the equivalent of one day a week
for at least eight months. If you are interested contact
