About the
Tuggeranong LINK:
The Tuggeranong Link [LINK] operates a management relationship with the five community houses (also known as 'neighbourhood houses') in the Tuggeranong Valley, including the Chisholm Community Centre, Gilmore Community House, Isabella Plains Neighbourhood House, Conder Community House, and Richardson Community House.
The LINK and the Neighbourhood Houses are directly managed by the Tuggeranong LINK management committee, consisting of volunteers and paid staff, drawn from membership groups of the Tuggeranong LINK, and the local community. Individuals and community play an active part in the development and management of their own neighbourhood centres and associated activities.
Programs are supported by grants and donations, and some are run in
cooperation with other locally based community organisations. All
programs operate in an informal and relaxed environment, assisted by
our support officers and volunteers.
In recent years the Tuggeranong Link had taken over direct management
of the neighbourhood houses at Richardson, Gilmore and Conder, and more
recently the neighbourhood houses at Isabella Plains and Chisholm.
The houses and centres themselvs are unfunded, therefore rely on income from hiring, playschool and programs to pay operational costs. The LINK has a Community Development Officer, funded by the ACT Department of Disability, Housing & Community Services, to assist in the identification of needs and the conduct of programs, and to support each house and centre.
The Community Development Co-ordinator works towards a range of
services for the LINK:
The primary aim is to facilitate community access to member houses and
provide low cost activities with an emphasis on inclusion for all
people.
Tuggeranong Link undertakes a range of co-ordinated community
development activities including provision of support, information and
referral to local community groups and provides support and training to
member community houses and centres. The activities provide an
opportunity for people to develop social networks and life long
learning through recreational and vocational activities in a
neighbourhood setting.
This service receives funding from the Community Services Program
(CSP) which is funded by the ACT Government.
