Associate Professor Heather Lovell (University of Tasmania)
RMIT University’s Centre for Urban Research is pleased to invite you to Heather Lovell’s seminar: How unsuccessful policies travel: the case of smart metering in Victoria.
Seminar brief
The seminar will explore learnings and lesson drawing from policies that don’t work well. The example discussed is a recent mandatory smart meter programme in Victoria – the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Programme.

The case raises important policy and conceptual questions about how stories of policy failure are created and travel.
