DLGLM1007 Connecting with Stakeholders and Communities
Connecting with stakeholders and communities is a critical component of local government. In modern democracies it is essential that elected local government officials involve local communities in the decision-making process. This unit will examine some of the key theories, concepts and practices that are central to community engagement and the decision-making processes of local government. The unit provides students with the opportunity to understand the techniques and appreciate the practical skills required to design, deliver, and evaluate community engagement. Student will be asked to critically assess the key practices and challenges faced by local government officials as they attempt to connect with stakeholders and communities.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $2,124
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
