Waterloo Human Services Collaborative Group: A case study for ANZSOG’s project on co-governance and trust in government

This report relates to one of three case studies that form a larger project to identify methods to operationalise and implement co-governance arrangements. This project is being undertaken by the Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC), UNSW Sydney, funded by the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) and the NSW Government.

This case study documents the co-governance process for the Waterloo Human Services Collaborative Group (the Waterloo Group). The Waterloo Group was established in 2021 ‘to assist with engagement, planning, and coordinated responses by human services agencies to the Waterloo community, in advance of the Waterloo Estate redevelopment, to address the current and future needs of the community, specifically those living in public housing’ (Waterloo Human Services Action Plan).
