Australian Frontier Canberra Panel.
Australian Frontier, based in 3 Civic Building, Garema Place, Canberra, was an organisation set up by the Australian Council of Churches as “an instrument to assist man as (a) he attempts to adjust to the demands of rapid social change, (b) he faces the complex questions of responsibility which are thrust upon him by the world in which he now lives.” “As an instrument of social change, Frontier aims to assist man in his struggle to build a responsible society – a society which enables, encourages and, where necessary, requires its citizens to act in the best interest of the welfare of their fellows.” It organised courses of study and conducted community consultations on matters of social interest. (Information from booklet Australian Frontier Aim and Programme in the collection)
Correspondence and research notes concerning Pumpurs’ involvement as consultant in community consultation “The use of the Natural Environment in the ACT: possibilities and responsibilities” and the papers of other seminars and courses. File also contains Australian Frontier ephemera
