The future needn’t just happen!
Every day we make choices that have consequences. By aligning these choices with a carefully crafted and widely accepted vision, we can bring about the future we want for our town.
LCFi has chosen to adopt the following operating principles in shaping our future:
LCFi acts as an enabler for change makers and a connector of ideas.
While no idea is excluded, support comes when:
there is a committed proponent,
it contributes to the Vision, and
it is inclusive.
LCFi will support capability development within the community and we will collaborate with other communities.
The LCFi backstory
Loxton Community Futures Inc was born from a commitment among the people of Loxton to meet the challenges facing our community and create opportunities for a brighter future.
Loxton has a proud history and a strong community spirit. The town is blessed with a rich cultural heritage and a well established economy based primarily on viticulture, horticulture and tourism.
Like many regional communities we have faced our share of challenges in recent years. Our location on the banks of the mighty River Murray provide water for our crops but the recent floods have hit hard. Markets for wine made from grapes grown here have suffered from the closure of the Chinese market.
We recognise that we have a top performing school but we need to create more opportunity for the young people graduating from Loxton High School. It has been harder with COVID 19 and economic uncertainty to maintain the vitality of East Terrace - our main retail precinct.
With this in mind, over 80 members of the Loxton Community came together to develop a vision for the future of our town.
