The solution

GLENRAC addresses these challenges by providing strategic guidance, programs, and partnerships that empower landholders and residents to sustainably manage resources and strengthen community wellbeing. Every five years, the elected GLENRAC Committee of Management undertakes a strategic planning workshop to shape the organisation’s direction for the next planning period. The committee aligns on the vision, mission, and organisational priorities, which then inform the goals, strategies, and actions delivered by staff each year. This process provides a clear checkpoint to ensure GLENRAC remains focused on its intended purpose. It also guides the funding we pursue and the partnerships we develop, ensuring our work continues to support our community and surrounding landscape effectively.

In 2020, the GLENRAC committee set out to create solutions for a sustainable and productive landscape. Its mission is to initiate and coordinate action for landholders and the community to manage and maintain the natural resource base of the Glen Innes region for the improvement of both the social and productive environment. The organisation established four key priorities: Strong People for a Strong Community, Sustaining Land, Achieving Balance, and GLENRAC 2050, guiding strategic decisions and ensuring meaningful, long-term community outcomes. These priorities provide a clear framework that shapes programs, informs partnerships, and supports effective resource management across the region today.
