VLGA Special Issues Forum, 7pm, Thursday July 17th
(Light dinner and networking at 6pm) at VLGA, 60 Leicester Street, Carlton
While the announcement of Development Assessment Committees took a lot of the public limelight recently, the findings of the Melbourne 2030 Audit Expert Group (AEG) that led to this and other State Government announcements were lost!
As part of the first five-yearly review of Melbourne 2030, a group of four independent experts were asked by the Minister for Planning to provide advice on strategic and implementation priorities for the next five years. This included identifying where there is a need to refine policy and implementation initiatives to enhance Melbourne’s liveability. The AEG has found that there are three essential issues that can and must be resolved for Melbourne 2030 to be successfully implemented:
· clarity of responsibility
· adequate resources, and
· broad-based support.
Come along to the VLGA’s Special Issues Forum, to explore these three essential issues.
Speakers will include 2 members of the AEG, the Chair Rob Moodie as well as David Whitney.
There will be ample opportunity to ask questions and to participate in a lively Panel Discussion.
