Shaping Victoria Forum 2009

(30/5/09 - P) "The Changing Face of Planning: where are we now and where are we heading?" Don't hold your breath, because most of us aren't invited.

There will be a forum held on the 11 and 12 June in Ballarat.

The Department of Planning and Community Development will present the inaugural Shaping Victoria forum featuring keynote speakers and discussions by delegates around the future direction of Victoria within the planning and community development landscape.

Critical issues to be discussed will include:

managing change in rural areas and regional towns and cities,
demographic trends,
the changing landscape of the rural/urban interface, and
innovations in planning and how they are shaping our communities.

Problem is, this event is for planners, community engagement professionals and other practitioners from private and public sector. The invite says, "this event should not be missed by industry leaders and forward thinking professionals."

Question is, when does the community get a guernsey, and a say?
