Neighbourhood House Week

Mr TARLAMIS: On another matter, this week is Neighbourhood House Week. Our neighbourhood houses, also known as community houses and community learning and neighbourhood centres, are the heart of our communities, and there are 400 of them across Victoria. Around 200 000 Victorians are getting involved with their local community through these community-run organisations each week, and they do an incredible job creating a sense of connection and belonging for Victorians of all ages and walks of life. They offer a diverse range of activities, from social activities, exercise classes and support services to food relief, adult education and so much more. I encourage everyone to visit their local neighbourhood houses and community centres to say hi and find out what great activities are available for them. I want to thank the neighbourhood houses and community centres in my electorate and all the amazing people that make them the vital part of our community that they are.
