Around 70 people participated in the afternoon session facilitated by Professor Graham Sansom, (now former) Director of UTS Centre for Local Government; while around 40 people participated in the researcher’s session beforehand. The researcher’s session was facilitated by Professor Nobuo Akai, from OSIPP, and Ms Sarah Artist, Assistant Director of UTS Centre for Local Government.
