The full program will be released shortly. However, local traders and volunteers from the community who would like to be involved can register their interest via Flavia at Vic Park Collective at [email protected]
WHAT IS THE VIC PARK COLLECTIVE?
Driven by genuine passion to make significant and positive changes, a group of locals formed in 2013 to collaborate with, and form links between businesses, residents and the Town of Victoria Park. With objectives of creative collaboration, community connectivity, inclusivity and sustainability, their mission is to make the area ‘uniquely awesome’. Since then the volunteer group has successfully delivered a range of projects for the community such as community parklets, Plastic Free July campaigns, a street art map, a car-free-day on Kent Street and the 2015 Summer Street Party.
