About the Melbourne Park Managers Forum
The Melbourne Park Managers Forum (MPMF) is an informal group of park managers and senior management staff from Melbourne Metropolitan LGAs. The Network aims to meet a minimum twice per year at events hosted by a council parks department to discuss issues and share ideas relating to parks planning, management and operations. Membership excludes non-council staff, such as representatives from industry suppliers and consultants.
Whilst it does not have a formal set of rules or statement of purposes, the MPMF was established for the following key reasons:
– To provide park managers with access to a network of like-minded people.
– To share resources, information and experiences relating to parks management.
– To provide opportunities for professional development and learning.
