Placemaking training

Access free placemaking training through Town Team Movement until July 2025, available for all local government staff and elected members.

At the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC), we see the concept of collaboration between local government, communities, local businesses and volunteer groups as critical for development and growth.

That's why we're providing free placemaking training for all local government staff in Western Australia, including all elected members.

This is the first time in Australia that this type of training has been provided for an entire sector.

Hundreds of local government staff from councils across WA participated in the program during its first year. 

Local government staff and elected officials now have another year to access the training, with funding for the program extended until July 2025 in response to strong interest from the sector.
