Communicating a Sustainability Plan

COMMUNICATION PLAN FOR THE TAFE QUEENSLAND REGIONAL SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

This Communication Plan has been developed to support the implementation of the TAFE Queensland Regional (TQR )Sustainability Strategy 2009-2014.

The TQR Sustainability Strategy 2009-2014 links directly with the Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE Strategic Plan 2010-2014 which is a subgroup of the TAFE Queensland Regional (TQR) Strategic Plan 2010-2013

TAFE QLD Regional (TQR) is made up of 6 regional TAFE institutes from across Queensland who have come together to create a single Statutory Authority in 2011. A requirement of becoming a Statutory Authority is the development or redevelopment of all policies and practices associated with the joining organisations. The development and implementation of a Sustainability Strategy is new for all 6 regional TAFE institutes and therefore a communication plan is essential to ensure all participants are fully informed.

The participants will include all staff employed at

    • Tropical North Queensland Institute of TAFE
    • Mt Isa Institute of TAFE
    • Barrier Reef Institute of TAFE
    • Central Queensland Institute of TAFE
    • Southern Queensland Institute of TAFE and
    • Wide Bay Institute of TAFE

Of particular importance to the communication plan is the members of the TAFE Queensland Regional Sustainability Network. The participants of this network are from each of the 6 regional TAFE institutes and are the key communicators to their institutes on all aspects relating to sustainability. This group meets monthly and is chaired from TNQIT.
There are a number of key documents that have been utilised to inform the TQR Sustainability Strategy. These documents are identified in the below flow chart (Figure2)
