About us
The Centre for Sustainable Regional Communities (CSRC) was established by La Trobe University in 1998 to support regional and rural communities in the face of economic, environmental and social challenges.
What we do
The Centre for Sustainable Regional Communities (CSRC) brings the University and its community together in our common concern to understand those factors which contribute toward sustainable communities.
Specifically the Centre aims to:
- Foster discussion and debate about what it means to be a sustainable community;
- Undertake research which assists communities make sustainable development choices; and,
- Provide a forum for others to explore social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable living.
The CSRC provides opportunities for University research and service to be relevant to the development and understanding of sustainable regional communities, and to provide a direct interface with communities which have particular research and community development needs. The Centre and its members maintain active research and publications profiles; work in partnership on a range of community development and research projects; and support a range of conferences and events.
