As is the case with probably all of you, I have found that this semester has just disappeared before I knew it and here I am working on my final assessment piece before end of year exams.. Wow.. 3 year degree almost done!
Now to business :)
The internship role has continued to keep me on my feet at the department of sport and recreation and since my last post there have been some interesting developments.
The most important of all is that I have seen and discussed initial architect impressions for the new netball stadium, rectangular stadium and the proposed improvements to ME stadium too.
Major discussions for these projects in my department are addressing the key concerns for local community stakeholders; primarily the fact that many local streets will need to be closed off for lengthy periods of time so that heavy machinery, trucks, earthworks etc can commence.
I guess this takes me back to the first of my pr units that emphasize the point of being proactive and organising everything in a timely manner. Despite the fact that many of these works will not occur for a few more years, it is interesting to see that in the real world workplace, locals will be informed of these developments a considerable amount of time in advance to reduce uncertainty and keep everyone informed of the progress. By keeping on side with the local community, the government can commence the projects on time while also addressing key concerns of the local people and how this will impact their lives.
If all goes well and I can secure a graduate position here, there will be a considerable chance that I may get to work on community relations projects in relation to these projects so here's hoping!
Oh well, back to it!
Hope everyone is doing great..
