About CCD

Cavaye Community Development (CCD) is one of Australia’s leading providers of community development expertise. It provides a range of planning, training, organising and evaluation services to support the vitality and sustainability of local communities.

At CCD we aim to foster the economic social, environmental and cultural vitality of communities, particularly in rural and regional areas.

Our focus is on practical “real world” support for communities. Cavaye Community Developments acts as a bridge between leading theoretical approaches and the grassroots everyday realities communities face.

Cavaye Community Development is based on the knowledge and expertise of Jim Cavaye PhD, an accomplished practitioner, education and researcher in community development. Jim has 20 years experience working with rural and regional communities, as well as contributing to a range of major regional development initiatives. He works with a wide range of communities, organisations and government agencies across Australia and overseas.

Jim has a PhD from the United States in community development and is an international speaker and author. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Community Service and Research Centre at the University of Queensland and also at the Institute for Sustainable Regional Development at Central Queensland University.
