The Town of Victoria Park takes an Asset Based Community Development Approach to Community Development. This approach focuses on identifying and leveraging the strengths, skills and resources within a community to drive community-led positive change.
The project will involve consolidating Community Development contact lists and mapping community groups and services geographically. This project will help lay the groundwork for future and further engagement and collaboration with these community assets.
During this project the intern will spend time with different Community Development Officers at the Town to learn about their unique portfolios and role of community development.
The Town is undertaking a major review of its highest level planning document, the Strategic Community Plan (SCP). VicVision has been designed to take into account that our community has different levels of time and interest.
