A model developed as part of a research project by a Monash postgraduate student will enable Wellington Shire Council to work more closely with communities. Glenys Butler works for Wellington Shire Council and her research showed the need to establish a model that would support and encourage communities to work together and address local issues. John Thwaites, Minister for Victorian Communities provided a $310,000 grant that will enable Wellington Shire Council to employ two community facilitators for 3 years to assist with the implementation of the model in approximately 22 communities across the shire.

The Bachelor of Business and Commerce/Bachelor of Education (primary and secondary) double degrees have been approved by the University and will be in the VTAC guide for prospective students to enrol in 2007.
