Join us for a community presentation - 9th April!

Hear how community ideas are building momentum and driving action in Carbury-Derrinturn.

Over recent months, the group have been exploring ideas for the future, listening to local voices and identifying opportunities for positive local change.

In the short presentation, participants will share what they learned from their research, conversations and the community survey, and present a set of potential projects to shape the future of Carbury and Derrinturn.

Whether your passion is heritage, the environment, local spaces or community activities, come along to hear what’s happening, share your perspective and be part of the next chapter in turning ideas into action in Carbury, Derrinturn and the surrounding areas.

What’s happened so far?

It’s important that this process involves as much of the community as possible so that ideas and projects moving forward are exactly what you want for Carbury and Derrinturn. To help this, we’ll share a recap of each session so everyone knows how things are developing.

But, let’s be honest, it’ll be much more fun and rewarding if you can come along to the Village Community Centre each Thursday evening to share your ideas and learn about community development with the group.
