Building on the methodology used for the 2022 Regional Strengths and Infrastructure Gaps report, the supporting Strengthening Communities Paper provides a Rubric as a tool to guide to undertaking a place-based analysis and collecting an evidence base that will help determine how to achieve better outcomes for a community.

The Rubric can be used to inform planning, reform and investment, in addition to identifying opportunities across sectors to build and strengthen a place’s foundations. Stakeholders are encouraged to share your feedback and insights with us by sending an email to mail@infrastructureaustralia.gov.au.
