Community Development Special Interest Group
The CD SIG will be of interest to local government professionals responsible for the planning and delivery of community development and capacity building activities.
The SIG will appeal to those with a passion for solving problems, exploring new ways of doing things, exercising creativity, and achieving results. A willingness to challenge assumptions and tip sacred cows, while not compulsory, is recommended!
The aims of the group are as follows:
1. Influence community development policy and practice through:
• An ongoing dialogue with the State Government, particularly the Department of Planning & Community Development (DPCD). This dialogue will take place both directly and through LG Pro.
• Provision of an opportunity for specific community development issues (e.g. migrant/refugee settlement, impact of water restrictions on sporting clubs) to be addressed, and for successful projects/programs to be showcased.
2. Provide an opportunity for cross-disciplinary meetings and/or workshops, which may be held in partnership with other SIG’s, on matters relating to community development.
3. Through the above activities, provide a professional development opportunity and needs identification.
