COMMUNITY NEEDS ANALYSIS

The Centre commissioned Strategic Development Group to undertake a Community Needs Analysis (CNA) for North and West Melbourne between September 2021 and March 2022.
The purpose of the CNA is to provide information that will inform the development of new and creative ways for The Centre to engage with diverse communities in the suburbs of North and West Melbourne and to better meet their identified priorities and needs.
The research was commissioned with the plan to make its findings available to the community sector in North and West Melbourne. In the interests of sharing knowledge, collaboration and co-ordination, The Centre is making the full report available to the general public.
We welcome feedback from our local community, and particularly proposals for how we can work together to bring the recommendations of the report into reality.
