La Trobe Planning Program

Last month, students undertaking GEG2ACR Australian Cities and Regions completed their regional fieldtrip, visiting Bendigo and Maryborough to learn about how the goldrush shaped these settlements, the role and support for cultural infrastructure as well as key planning and development issues - thanks to a wide range of representatives from the City of Greater Bendigo, Central Goldfields Shire, Central Goldfields Art Gallery, Central Goldfields Visitor Information Centre, Djaa Djuwima and Dr Charles Fahey for sharing your valuable knowledge and time.

Last week was a big week of fieldtrips for students studying Australian Cities and Regions (GEG2ACR) - involving a fascinating heritage walking tour of Northcote with the wonderful Darebin Libraries staff, a great overview on the City of Melbourne's planning and social housing objectives at the Melbourne Town Hall and learning valuable insights about growth areas planning from Wyndham Shire Council and mixed use development from the Cedar Woods team.

Congratulations to our students Billy, Rory and Sofie who won prizes last night at the Bendigo Campus Awards and Prizes Ceremony - great to see your hard work recognised.
