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 aspirations of communities and their places
Promote placemaking principles and place based approaches
Share information (strategies, programs, measures, case studies) relevant to Activity Centres
166 active members in the SIG Network
Please note that this Special Interest Group is a closed group, open only to employees of a Victorian Council with a LGPro Council Subscription.
Responsive placemaking initiatives and activations to attract and retain people
Place based meaurement to support an evidence-based approach
Supporting investments that lead to the sustainable places with diverse human activity
Enhancing place character and the unique aspects of activity centres
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.
