Residents and Community

Home

The communitybuilders site (www.communitybuilders.nsw.gov.au) aims to help local communities across the State share ideas on how to enhance and strengthen their community.

The emphasis is on practical design and how to do things including checklists on what is community building; how to use and interpret statistics; group work techniques; managing conflict; how to consult young people; funding sources; sustainable urban design; and partnerships with community and business. Most of the resources are Australian but some overseas material is also included.
