The value of local area planning.
The following case study describes the Barwon Primary Care Forum (BPCF) model for local area planning and the value this model has brought to the member agencies. The model was developed from a locally identified need for social planning which historically had resulted in numerous community consultations and needs assessments, often duplicative and potentially burdensome to the community. The process for this local area planning model is described in detail.
