Exploratory research: Citizen participation, local government and sustainable development in Australia http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:38165 Exploratory research reported in this paper was undertaken in Adelaide, Australia during 1998/99. The purpose of the research is to explore local development practice as evidenced through the experiences and actions of local citizens, community based groups and local government (Neuman, 1994). Results from this first stage research suggest that sustainability initiatives in Australia might best be implemented through a collaborative approach at the local community level involving local citizens working in partnership with local government.

Managing the Yongala Historic Shipwreck http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:34805 The Yongala Historic Shipwreck lies within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in northeastern Australia. A draft management plan, produced by the Queensland Museum in 1992, provided primarily for the management of the historical and archaeological values of the wreck. The plan did not outline comprehensive strategies for management of either the special ecological values of the site or an increasing demand by recreational divers to dive the wreck This article will outline the processes involved in integrating management of the social, ecological, and historical values of the wreck into a format that is acceptable to all stakeholders associated with the site. 2007-08-13T10:25:48Z Cuthill, M Measuring Community Engagement http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:84457 2007-08-14T13:42:41Z Scull, S.

D. og Graham, P. W. og Brown, L. S. Redefining Excellence: A Strategic Policy Platform for Victorian Higher Education and Community Engagement http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:10361 This report provides a current overview and analysis of the role of universities in local community development in the State of Victoria. Drawing on successful programs of community engagement in Victoria, Australia, Europe, Africa, and North America, the report proposes policy strategies for fostering community development for Victorian Higher Education through effective community engagement programs. Universities have been a perennial force for the development and maintenance of civil societies throughout the developed world. A significant part of the university's role in has been the enrichment of social well-being through active engagement with its local community. The two underpinning assumptions of this report are that universities have a civic responsibility to enhance the well-being of their communities, and that acting upon this responsibility will mutually benefit universities and their communities, generating long-term social, civic, and economic benefits. The key policy recommendations of the report are tied to the way community engagement programs are funded. However, it is clear that funding alone cannot and will not improve the effectiveness of community engagement programs. The meaning of excellence within university cultures needs to be broadened so that academics and universities can be formally acknowledged for the clear benefits that effective community engagement projects deliver. Consequently, the central long-term policy strategy recommended here is oriented towards funding mechanisms that promote community oriented conceptions of excellence among academics and university administrations, and which give excellent community engagement outcomes equivalent weighting as currently entrenched measures of academic excellence. The category of "academic excellence" typically refers to research, teaching, and scholarly dissemination of knowledge. Such activities are undoubtedly central to the healthy functioning of universities, but equally so is excellence in our universities' civic engagements. But as long as definition of excellence remains defined by funding regimes in current terms, community engagement outcomes will be less attractive for scholars and universities alike. A culture of "publish or perish" continues to prevail in universities, while service to the community goes largely unrewarded in respect of career advancement for scholars and for funding universities. This imbalance in funding priorities hinders the development of longer-term benefits which flow from effective community engagement programs, despite evidence that they have proven to be greatly beneficial. It is therefore the conclusion of this report that community engagement outcomes can only be sustained over the longer term if the achievement of excellence in community engagement is encouraged by funding structures which reward such activities to the same degree as currently entrenched conceptions of academic excellence. 2004-07-15T00:00:00Z Muirhead, Bruce og Graham, Phil og Brown, Laurence Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) evaluation http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:84507 2007-08-14T13:44:25Z Woolcock, G.W.E. og Martin, D. og Richards, M Reporting social outcomes of development: An analysis of diverse approaches. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:172681 2009-03-30T16:26:22Z Cuthill, M og Ross, H og Maclean, K og Owens, K og Witt, B Review of the Social Capital Measurement Literature http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:83994 2007-08-14T13:25:07Z Scull, S.

This paper examines the history and meaning of civic responsibility in the Australian university experience and makes an appeal to move beyond the traditional "institution apart" culture. 2004-07-15T00:00:00Z Brown, Laurence og Muirhead, Bruce The implementation of social impact assessment in local government. http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:104827 2007-08-23T22:38:03Z Summerville, J. og Buys, L og Germann, R og Cuthill, M The role of local government and the needs of older people in Ipswich http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:84506 2007-08-14T13:44:23Z Scull, S.

Whale sharks in Ningaloo Marine Park: managing tourism in an Australian marine protected area http://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:57821 The whale shark is the largest fish in the ocean, A tourism industry based on interacting with whale sharks has developed recently in Ningaloo Marine Park, off the coast of Western Australia, This is the only known, accessible place in the world where whale sharks congregate in significant numbers, Results from surveys of participants in the 'whale shark experience' are reported, with the experience found to be extremely satisfying for most consumers, Yet management questions relating to diver-to-shark separation distances, the appropriate number of operators, and the use of regulation, self-regulation and economic instruments, remain, The nexus between experiential aspects of the whale shark attraction and such management concerns is examined, and the usefulness of appropriate research in resolving management questions established, It is concluded that a judicious combination of management approaches is required to ensure the sustainable development of the whale shark tourism industry.
