Our PROJECTS
Community Safety and Wellbeing
The heart of the project
Community Safety and Wellbeing was one of the driving forces behind the development of the Get Connected Toormina project. The Project Implementation Group has worked very closely with the Police towards reducing anti-social and criminal behaviour, as well as increasing positive engagement with young people in the Toormina area.
