Pangerang Community Hub Wins Resilience award!
Congratulations to Pangerang Community Hub in Wangaratta for winning the Neighbourhood Houses Victoria Community Resilience Award for the Mobile Community Hub project.
Pangerang Community Hub successfully secured $542,000 to launch Victoria’s first ‘Neighbourhood House on Wheels,’ an innovative two-year initiative funded by the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery Grant.
The Mobile Hub – fitted out with essential resources, technology and equipment – worked with rural communities to develop and deliver over 95 activities throughout the region that fostered connection and resilience. With strong collaboration with local government and emergency services, the Hub is now integral to future evacuation plans.
The Mobile Hub project explores a different delivery model for Neighbourhood Houses by breaking down barriers to participation. It supports community resilience and demonstrates the role of Neighbourhood Houses in the space of emergency response and recovery.
