The City of Moonee Valley is asking for your help to shape its future by sharing your long-term vision for the city.

Moonee Valley has a rich history. The city has developed over time to be the vibrant place it is today, and will continue to evolve. This transition means changes in population, driven by the growth of metropolitan Melbourne, and that means both challenges and opportunities.

For example, more people will be travelling in the city by foot, bicycle, public transport and car. There will be an increase in needs for housing. This is because more people prefer to live in smaller households and want to live, work, socialise and interact in Moonee Valley in 2035.

Over the next few months, everyone in Moonee Valley and its surrounds will be asked what they want for the next generation of the city. They are seeking ideas from all generations - children, young people, working age adults, and older adults. They want to hear from residents, students, workers and businesses.

If you are interested in contributing to this community vision please visit the Have your say: Moonee Valley website and fill in the online survey.

Experience real legal practice, help people with real issues, and gain an understanding of how the justice system works - and acquire a clinical legal education in the process.

The Victoria Law School (VLS) is looking for motivated students for work placements at The Sunshine Youth Legal Centre. Under the supervision of an experienced legal practitioner, you'll be able to provide the disadvantaged youth of the western suburbs with legal advice, assistance and services.

The Centre is open 4 days a week, and students on placement must commit approximately 10 hours a week over 2 days at the Centre, over approximately 16 weeks. As the Centre is open all year round except during the Christmas-New Year period, placements may carry on right through university breaks and exam periods.

Applicants must have completed:

either Advocacy & Communication, or Interviewing & Negotiation Skills; and
either Criminal Law, or Dispute Resolution & Civil Procedure

If you have not completed these units, but have significant work or volunteer experience in these fields, you may apply to be considered for a placement. Applications are now open for Semester of 2, 2012. Placement commences the week beginning 2 July 2012 and ends the week beginning 26 October 2012.

Submit your application (cover letter, resume and academic transcript) to Rahman (contact details at right). Applications close at 5pm, 6 June 2012.

Students undertaking this placement are expected to enrol in the elective unit BLB1103 Law in Practice 1 (Courts & Community). Contact Su Robertson at su.robertson@vu.edu.au for more information about this unit. If you have enrolled in other units but wish to do the placement instead, you may apply to amend your enrolment. If you are undertaking the Bachelor of Laws (Graduate Entry) program and do not wish to enrol in this unit or if you have exhausted all your electives, you may apply to be considered for a placement as a volunteer.
