Big Levers: From Policy to Pavement

Transformational change doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when the big levers are pulled.

This session will explore how policy, governance, resourcing and training drive systemic change in geographic place naming and public art equality. If Victoria is to address the underrepresentation of women in place names and public art, these levers must be pulled.

This session focuses on the systemic drivers of change, examining:

• The critical role of policy, governance and resourcing

• What gender equal policies and governance structures look like

• How to translate policy commitments into visible, on-the-ground outcomes

• Proven approaches to increasing commemorative naming for women

Through practical examples and real-world insights, sector leaders and policy experts will share how they’ve created policy with teeth, governance structures that perform and resourcing models that support sustained progress.

You’ll hear what it takes, what you need, who can help, and lessons learned along the way.

Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your organisation’s foundations, become a leader in inclusive place naming and public art, and be part of Australia’s first coordinated movement to achieve place naming and public art equality.
