The Development Circle promotes and supports the Development Circle groups around Australia in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. We believe that via innovation and collaborative effort, the development sector can continue to increase its impact as a positive change agent within communities. The aim of The Development Circle is to create a platform for location specific groups to share ideas, explore potential collaboration, and discuss topical development issues. Membership of every group is open to anyone, across all fields within the development sector, as well as those who have a general interest in development issues. Sydney Development Circle was founded in 2007, Brisbane launched in 2011 and Melbourne launched in 2012.
