The Update Team, comprising 26 South Australian community leaders, was formed in early 2006 and charged with overseeing a community engagement program1 in relation to South Australia's Strategic Plan (SASP). The program was designed to improve understanding of what is in SASP and to update the community about what has been done so far to make progress on the targets. It was also about fostering partnerships around achieving the targets. Lastly, the process was intended to obtain considered input from interest groups, community organisations and individuals around South Australia about what they would like to see reflected in this whole-of-state plan.
