PDFLocal government and community engagement: annotated bibliography

12 August 2011This annotated bibliography outlines a number of key resources on the topic community engagement that have been prepared for practitioners and policy makers. It was developed in conjunction with the ACELG Working Paper ‘Local Government and Community Engagement.’

The selected resources have been produced by public sector organisations, - primarily local government sector. While most have been produced within Australia, several international resources are also included.

All the resources are available to be downloaded free of charge and so web links are included with each reference. In addition to specific publications, several databases and websites which contain a range of relevant resources for local government have been included.
