Abstract
Regional planning in Queensland has recently undergone a significant change in approach: from statutory regional plans that covered regionally-specific policy to manage and coordinate growth and infrastructure, to very specifically defined plans aimed at resolving land use conflicts between agriculture and mining. In effect, the changes devolve regional growth management and planning responsibilities back to local government. The neo-liberalist rhetoric speaks of re-empowering local government with no discussion on the capacity of local government to exercise that power across regional boundaries.
The regional governance literature points to the lack of a generally agreed upon definition of region and the emergence of new forms of governance to respond to regionalism and localism, however, it makes limited connections to the styles of leadership required to enable those governance structures.
The purpose of this paper is to identify what the connections are between emerging forms of regional governance and leadership styles relevant to the planning profession, particularly in local government. The approach will be to explore leadership models for regional planning using actor-network theory to analyse the content of past and present regional planning documents, including the Far North Queensland Regional Plan (FNQRP) and the Darling Downs Regional Plan (DDRP). It is anticipated that the paper will identify a possible framework for leadership capacity building for the planning profession that will add value to planners playing an important role in the unfolding evolution of regional leadership and governance in Queensland.
