Effective Engagement: building relationships with community and other stakeholders by the Victorian Department of Environment‚ Land‚ Water and Planning.
In 2005 the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment released a three part resource on Effective Engagement: building relationships with community and other stakeholder.
In 2015, it was re-released by the Department of Environment‚ Land‚ Water and Planning (which had replaced the previous Department). It had some useful material and I often refer to it in courses I teach. I was thus quite disappointed to discover it was no longer available. Fortunately, however, I had a PDF version of each of the volumes and, as it is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia licence, I can make it available to others as well.
It really is too valuable a resource to lose.

Hi Graeme, fantastic resources! Unfortunately the download links aren’t working – is this a problem on your end or ours?

Hi
I just tried and I all the “Download Here” links work. I know other people have successfully downloaded them, so I suspect it is an issue your end. It might be an issue if your browser blocks pop up windows. Have you tried right clicking the link and selecting “Save link as” (or similar). If it doesn’t work, email me (via the contact page and I can send them to you.)
Sorry I can’t help more.
Graeme

Ah, thanks Graeme, the right-click ‘save link as’ works perfectly! These are going to be great inclusions to our new Teaching & Learning Resource Centre! And please feel free to add more learning resources to our site on this page: https://participedia.net/teaching or through this form: bit.ly/tlrc-form
