Women’s Planning Network DVD launch

The Women’s Planning Network research ‘From Accidental Planner to Agent Provocateur: 60 years of women in Victorian Planning’ was recently launched by Jenny Mikakos, Victorian Parliamentary Secretary for Planning.

This research, which comprises a report and short film, was undertaken by the University of Melbourne (Dr Carolyn Whitzman, Dr David Nichols and Jana Perkovic) and part funded by the Minister for Planning via a heritage grant linked to the recent centenary of suffrage in Victoria. This research starts the process of recording and celebrating the role of women in planning and reveals the changing the role of women in society and it is hoped that it will inspire a national research project, as well as further work in Victoria. You can download the report and similarly order a copy of the short film DVD at www.wpn.org.au.

All smiles at the launch of the Women’s Planning Network DVD.
