Title: Integrated Educational Services: A Key Element in the Creation of Successful Communities
Abstract: In this paper Stan Salagaras elaborates on the partnership which he helped broker for the sharing of an innovative learning facility built at the heart of the new Mawson Lakes housing and community development. Called the Mawson Centre, the facility was developed on land provided by Delfin Lend Lease with support from a significant state government grant. The facility is owned and managed in a partnership between the University of South Australia, the City of Salisbury and the Department of Education and Children’s Services. Students from the nearby primary school have space to use the community library and resource centre and come in contact with the university students including trainee teachers who are co‑located on site. This paper shows the interests of a development firm align with community interests in a model for the provision of shared educational facilities. As Public-Private Partnership schools begin to be developed across several Australian states, there will be more partnerships between schools, local councils and a range of other government and commercial providers.
