Our activities in Hastings
Neighbourhood Renewal, a Victorian Government initiative designed to close the gap between disadvantaged and other Victorian communities, commenced in Hastings in 2006. The program brings together the ideas and resources of residents, community groups, local businesses and government to drive meaningful change for the community.
The Brotherhood’s Neighbourhood Renewal Employment and Learning Coordinator works with Hastings residents and local agencies to develop opportunities in education, training and employment.
Through Neighbourhood Renewal, residents have established working groups to examine local school, employment, adult education and early childhood learning issues.
