The UTS Centre for local government is partnering the Local Government Community Development & Services Association of Australia to undertake an action research project into local government's role in promoting community democracy and wellbeing

 Entitled "Just Communities", the project will explore relationships between how councils go about engaging local communities in their activities, the organization frameworks they employ, and the results achieved. It was launched at the LGCSAA national conference in Melbourne in October 2005, and councils have been invited to express interest in joining a small national network to share ideas and experiences.
