Have to? Want to? Need to?
Much is currently being said about organisations needing to collaborate, and evidence certainly demonstrates together we can achieve more. In practice, however, this is not straightforward and requires careful consideration. Creating and maintaining lasting collaborative partnerships requires attention to process, resources, relationships, and outcomes. This workshop will provide you with a fresh perspective on collaboration. You will explore the collaboration landscape and identify where your organisations and your current and potential partners are placed on the continuum of collaborations. We will use a framework for collaborating effectively to ensure you maximise your efforts, to achieve more with your partners. Finally, you will apply tools to support you in your collaboration journey.
23 July, 2019
10AM to 12PM

Early 1900 antique Oak and Rattan 3 piece suite comprising of two armchairs and one three seater couch.

The frame is in original pristine condition. The cushioning has been replaced with Elephant Foam and professionally upholstered in James Dunlop Commercial Quality fabric.

There is a number etched on the couch 21 37 which we take to be 21 of 37 suites made. (it could be quite rare) We believe it came from England but can't confirm that.

Reluctant sale of this sunning suite with many more years worth of wear left in it!

Price: $1,000

The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.
