About PLACE

Our vision is for local communities, governments, and others to share decisions on the things that matter most in people’s lives.

Place-based approaches create the opportunity for shared understanding and shared action for lasting change.

What PLACE will do

Enable

Lead the development and implementation of a national workforce strategy for place-based change, supporting the needs of communities.

Learn & share

Bring together, translate, disseminate, and generate evidence, knowledge, and other resources to amplify and accelerate place-based practice and policymaking.

Collaborate

Enable and convene expertise and experience to identify possible solutions to shared challenges and incubate concepts through partnerships and wrap-around support.

Strengthen data

Provide a range of practical supports to place-based approaches to improve data, monitoring and evaluation.

Community-led governance

PLACE’s governance structure has been designed to ensure community leadership and accountability that goes beyond input or participation through advisory groups.

We will establish a Community Council that will shape how PLACE operates, its priorities and recommendations for board appointments. This recognises the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making among diverse stakeholders.
