Assuming Benevolence and Encouraging Opposition: Public Involvement, Public Policy and Strategic Choice
There are moves in Victoria to centralise planning and reduce opportunities for public involvement. It is symptomatic of the nation turning outwards towards global activity and an emphasis on rational economic theory. It is argued that this is opposite to what is needed. Failure to get projects up and running is not the result of people or planning delaying decisions. It is the product of lackof strategic thinking, an important part of which is broadening, not narrowing the scope of ideas. Public involvement can and should affect public policy and decision making processes on significant issues. Examples of how communities have done this are discussed.
