A new fitness space and toddler playground designed with ideas and input from local residents – is now open in Shorewell Park. The project on Wisemann Street was a joint inItiative between Housing Choices Tasmania, Mission Australia, Burnie City Council, the Tasmanian Community Fund and Burnie Community House.
Housing Choices Tasmania contributed $26,270 and the Tasmanian Community Fund provided $19,225 towards the new developments. Housing Choices Tasmania’s State Manager Kim Bomford said a community working group comprising locals including Housing Choices Tasmania residents were
crucial to the project. “Residents know their neighbourhoods better than anyone else so it simply makes sense that they are involved in the decisions around what is needed and what it looks like,” Ms Bomford said. “This isn’t just an investment in equipment – it’s an investment in the people and families who live here – in their health and wellbeing now and for years to come.”
In Harmony
Inspired by a range of cultures and communities, this event will be a melting pot of international food, music, activities and amusements for children. Highlights include dancing, drumming, hair braiding and a Welcome to Country by Leprenna. Entry and entertainment is free and Housing Choices residents will be provided with a half price food voucher.
Housing Choices Tasmania staff enjoyed hosting several resident Christmas parties for our communities across the state.
Housing Choices Tasmania is also calling for ten volunteers to help at the event. If you are available to assist, contact Lisa 03 6221 9001 or email lisa.roberts@hcau.org.au
Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the
celebrations such enjoyable events.
