Our team’s leader, Kim Houghton, is currently working on economic strategy development with two shires in NSW, as well as working on community adaptability and resilience in the Murray Darling Basin. This latter project is a collaboration between three Universities and two specialist consultants, and combines social capital, demographics, economics, well-being and choice modelling. As a result of this work Kim has been appointed an Adjunct Associate Professor in Regional Development at the University of Canberra, and has a Visiting Fellowship in the Murray Darling Basin Futures Collaborative Research Network.
