The Housing Choices Australia Board and Executive have made a public statement supporting the ‘Yes’ position on the Voice to Parliament Referendum, which will be held on 14 October this year. They are proud to support the Voice to Parliament as a step toward achieving the three key elements of the Uluru Statement from the Heart - Voice, Treaty and Truth Telling. We are respectful of individual opinions of our residents and colleagues and encourage everyone to seek out information about the Voice referendum to inform your views and personal position on this issue. Voice to Parliament Referendum
From the General Manager
Featured in this edition are amazing resident stories from Ray who is loving his new apartment right next to Queen Victoria Market, and Margaret who has reconnected with her creativity and is pictured on the cover of this edition. Leanne shares with us some great tips on how to cultivate and maintain a beautiful garden on a budget. I know I’ll be taking some of these tips on board myself! I also want to send out a big thank you to everyone who completed the resident survey, which was distributed in August. We’re collating and reviewing this important information which will be used to help us improve the way that we deliver our services over the next 12 months. The Victorian Resident Advisory Committee (VRAC) are still looking to fill one more spot. There is more information on this and the great work VRAC have been doing in the newsletter. I hope you all enjoy saying goodbye to the frosty weather and instead bask in the sunshine the coming months will bring. Melissa Palframan General Manager of Housing Services Best,
Hi All, Welcome to the Spring edition of Home Stories . Once again, we have a jampacked edition, so sit back, relax, and enjoy reading this latest resident newsletter (maybe even while soaking up some sun!). In this edition you’ll find some wonderful updates from our Community Development and Engagement Team, who have been busy running the art competition, planning for the resident art exhibition and our end of year resident celebration event, helping spruce up communal spaces, and meeting as many of you as possible at community events. You’ll find some excellent suggestions from the Team on how to make the most of the lovely spring season and events happening in your local area.
Some information and resources on the Voice
referendum that may be useful are available on the Housing Choices website.
