About us
|
A network practitioners, academics and citizens interested community development formed in the 1970s as means of personal, social and community change.
The first biennial conference held in 1974 at East Brisbane provided the main way for people to connect and extend their networks with other practitioners across Queensland and Australia. At the 1999 Greenmount Community Development Conference a proposal was put forward to establish a formal network and the idea was accepted. Thus CD Queensland came into being. In late 2005 a Steering Group formed to grow the network and explore opportunities to increase the range of activities of what had become known as the CD Queensland Network. Today this group is known as the CD QLD Coordinating Group. CD Queensland continues as an informal network of practitioners. Our activities are auspiced by other organisations when necessary. Although not registered, we function as a Not For Profit Organization. Network members have formed alliances with scholars of CD at universities in South-East Queensland to offer seminars and support the biennial Community Development Conference held across the state. |
