Council Corner: Case Studies, Profiles and Initiatives

Recently ICLEI Oceania was commissioned by the Australian Centre of Excellence for Local Government to develop a series of case studies for their Innovation and Knowledge Exchange Network (IKEN). The case studies feature practices and initiatives that are working for particular Councils.

The Member Council case studies will feature under Council Corner and in our monthly eNews to help Councils find news ways to address old issues.

The Council Corner will also feature Council profiles, which are provided by respective Councils. If you would like to contribute to this knowledge base, please contact us.
