The Australian Centre for Excellence in Local Government (ACELG) and the Institute for Regional Development (IRD) at the University of Tasmania are partnering up to create a scoping study to explore the relationship between social enterprises and local governments.

 

The scoping study will involve a desktop study of “what we know” about local government working through social enterprises both here and overseas. The study will review reports, scholarly articles, and other published documents and case studies, with a particular focus on the Australian experience.

 

The Scoping Paper is expected to be completed by early December and will be available via the ACELG and IRD websites.
