Funded Activity Summary

Re-imagining the Australian Suburb: local governance and community building. This project forms part of RMIT's interdepartmental research network titled 'ReImagining the Australian Suburb'. It aims to investigate the potential for significantly improved sustainability outcomes in greenfield development at the urban fringe through enhanced relations between governments, industry, community groups and experts. In focussing on a selection of areas where sustainability policies currently meet formidable challenges - local governance, urban design, provision of transport infrastructure and local employment generation - this project will endeavour to highlight alternatives to conventional suburban development and test their applicability in the real-life context of the City of Whittlesea in suburban Melbourne.
