Fill up your Tool Kit

It is a cliché to say that “the only constant is change”, but nothing could be truer, we work in an industry and environment where we are challenged daily to seek out new ways to continue to maintain quality places and spaces and to provide access to services that build healthy communities. It’s a little overwhelming really when you think about – ‘more for less’, ‘rate capping’, ‘climate change’, ‘competing priorities’, ‘increasing community expectations’....sound familiar.... thought so....so how do we work our way through all of these issues?

What tool/s can we use to tackle that task? Well at this year's event we are going to give you a host of TOOLS to take back to your workplace to help you address some of these issues!
