Event Description
- Full Description:
- Jude Munro, co-owner and Director of Jude Munro and Associates, will present this wide ranging lecture exploring metropolitan strategic planning, the role of local government, the importance of political leadership, strategic capacity and local government reform. Jude will discuss a comparative framework for cities and will also explore the role of regions and regional centres and a way to benchmark our regional capitals.
Jude Munro is a former CEO of 4 local councils in 3 Australian States, including Brisbane City Council where she was CEO for 10 years up until 2010. She is passionate about cities and was awarded an Order of Australia in 2010 for her work in local government. She was appointed to the COAG Taskforce on strategic planning of cities. She is a member of the Independent Panel to Review Local Government in NSW. She is a former Queensland President of the Institute of Public Administration of Australia and is a member of Chief Executive Women. She is a non executive director and runs her own consultancy business.
The Keeble Lecture is held every year by PIA Queensland in honour of Lewis Bingham Keeble, the Foundation Professor of Regional and Town Planning at the University of Queensland. A generation of town planners throughout Australia will share memories of a truly remarkable man who founded a thriving town planning school in the less than hospitable environment of Queensland in the 1970s, and enriched the academic and professional scene for more than a decade.
This seminar will be chaired by Associate Professor Glen Searle from the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management at The University of Queensland.
The Keeble Lecture is sponsored by The University of Queensland.
