Hi Isla, it sounds exciting that you're so interested in rolling out Wiki Loves Monuments even broader. I would encourage you to share those thoughts at an early stage through the general WIki Loves Monuments mailing list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments That way others know about it too, and can help or advise and share their experiences.
As a sidenote: in case you would need a mailing list for a country's WLM-organization (not idea how suitable WikimediaZA mailing list is for that) please let me know, because I could probably get you one on lists.wmnederland.nl .
