Community Input to Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House

Community Input to Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House

BCNA Invitation

The Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House invites the BCNA membership to participate in a one hour focus conversation to help support the Port Melbourne neighbourhood.

They want to better understand what our neighbourhood is like and what people want. This will help plan courses and activities and to include your views in their presentations to other organisations and local government. This is one of many sessions that they are conducting in the community.

You time and support would be appreciated.

When and Where

Friday 24th June
2 pm (for one hour)
Neighbourhood House - Cnr of Liardet and Nott Streets, Port Melbourne

The Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House is interested in finding out:
- what activities people are already, or are interested in, being a part of,
- what people would like their neighbourhood house and neighbourhood to be like,
- whether people still have the same concerns about neighbourhood change raised in a study 7 years ago.

This will assist the Neighbourhood House in course planning for next year, longer term planning and representing community views.

You do not need to know anything about the Port Melbourne Neighbourhood House, and it does not matter how long you have lived in the City of Port Phillip. It will take less than an hour and will be a group discussion. Names of individuals are not being collected.

Please consider coming along on Friday 24th,2pm. If you are willing to help, even this particular time or day does not suit you, please let Tracey know. If you have any friends or neighbours who are not BCNA members, they are most welcome.

RSVP or for more information
Please contact Tracey by email tracey.pahor@gmail.com
or by phone 0409930366 (by Wednesday 22/06/11).
