One of the most tragic victims of ill-considered, virulent restructuring processes in Australian university history, the Centre for Ecological Economics and Water Policy Research was unconscionably closed by the University of New England in early 2008 after a 22 year history of innovative, successful community engagement project activities that spanned the globe. The Centre was home to an engaged community of over 30 researchers, project associates and PhD students, maintained a high profile in international water governance and tourism policy and research and pioneered new pathways through which to engage communities in sustainability-contexted development and resilience. LIfecycling Designs founder, Roderic Gill designed the Centre’s web site and its various underlying community engagement focused facilities. The connection between this web site and the Society for Organisational Learning Australia site (see below) is evident. Professor Gill directed the Centre for 8 years, from 2000 to 2008.
