The Flemington Project is a partnership between residents, community agencies, police and government.

The partners work together and are committed to improving the health and wellbeing of the community residing in the Flemington Estate area.

The Partnership provides opportunities for the residents to get involved with their community and makes information, activities and resources more available to residents of the Estate.

The three main areas of activity the Partnership is responsible for are:

• Improving coordination of key activities
• Increasing resident participation and coordinating action by State and Local Government and local service providers

The agreed early priority areas for the strategy are:

• Supporting young people
• Supporting family and children
• Education parthways and employment
• Community infrastructure and environment

Each has its own Working Group that reports to the overall partnership group

The Partnership Project is about providing practical support to get people involved and have a say about the things that matter to them.

It's about local residents, businesses and organisations working together with all levels of government to help transform their communities into a place of opportunity and activity.

We are working with the community to help it deal with local issues such as employment, rundown / difficult to access community facilities, high crime rates and gaps in community services.
