Year in review 2012
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Open Forum community for your support throughout 2012. You, our readers and bloggers play a major role in shaping the content of this website.
I think it is important to highlight some of the most successful blogs of 2012 and I encourage you to spend the festive season exploring the wealth of content we have featured over the year.
We started 2012 with the continuation of the strata laws consultation, which was supported by the NSW Department of Fair Trading. It was an amazing success and ultimately feed into the white paper produced by the government. The strata area and its related blogs were the most read content this year.
Employment, the Not-For-Profit sector, a Sustainable Future, Cost of Red Tape, Sporting Spirit, Productivity, Rural Australia and Travel & Tourism were discussed as featured forums in the last 12 months and we will continue to explore travel in January 2012.
