At the Neighbourhood Centre, we love providing opportunities for the community to come together to increase their knowledge about various topics and, in turn, inform others about different supports and services available.
We will be offering several community information sessions over the next few weeks. Please call the centre on 47834243 for more information and to register your attendance.

It canvases a range of different options, including both manufactured home parks and retirement villages, summarising the relevant laws, setting out the benefits of each option and pointing out potential pitfalls or things to consider for each option.
We are excited to let you all know that Self Care & Mental Wellness sessions with CoRES Ross Romeo will be offered monthly from the Centre. Keep your eyes out on our Facebook page for dates!
