Activity Centres & Place Managers

About the Special Interest Group

This Special Interest Group was established in May 2006 to provide a network for Local Government officers responsible for managing a Town Centre or implementing Activity Centre policy on behalf of Councils. It meets every two to three months, with meetings hosted by different Councils. Its primary functions are to:

  • Advance best practice in placemaking and activity cntre development
  • Obtain and impart new ideas through in field experiences in locations across Victoria
  • Maximise State Government programs and policies targeting Activity Centres
  • Create supportive placemaking relationships and industry networks
  • Respond effectively to the changing needs, challenges and aspiraions of communities and their places
  • Promote placemakiing principles and place based approaches
  • Share information (strategies, programs, measures, case studies) relevant to Activity Centres

  Online Teams community

This Special Interest Group is supported by an online community. We believe that accessing knowledge from individuals who work in a similar environment is invaluable and should never be underestimated. Our communities are only for people working in Local Government and there are many benefits to participating in them. They are a great way to keep in touch in between meetings, by asking your fellow colleagues questions and sharing resources. You can also see who else is involved and get in touch with them quickly.  Agendas, minutes, presentations and other resources will also be posted on the online community.
