Small community organisations have a vital role in contributing to strong, vibrant and inclusive communities.

---

The Coalition of Community Boards began over a decade ago as a Queensland-based network to support community boards through regional responses.

Here on the Sunshine Coast, the SCCOCB has continued as a sustainable entity run by volunteers with support from the Sunshine Coast Council.

Our activities include:

• Strengthening governance in boards of small community organisations
• Providing training and resources that can assist small community organisations
• Building a network of organisations that support each other
• Mentoring and encouraging peer support
• Advocacy and analysis of issues affecting small community organisations.

“The Mooloolah public hall had a completely new executive committee elected in 2022 and with the departure of the old committee, years of accumulated knowledge was lost. Not long after the newly elected committee took over, the Secretary, Treasurer, and President attended a workshop facilitated by the COCB. This workshop on the roles and responsibilities of the management committee, was invaluable to our new committee and to the efficient running of the Mooloolah Public Hall and has guided our practice as we have settled into our roles and responsibilities

Not only was the workshop a great learning experience, but it provided a fantastic opportunity for networking with other organisations and key contacts who have since proven to be a useful source of information. We have continued to seek out the advice and expertise of the COCB as we have grown into more confident committee.”
