Community Resource Centres
The GSDC is working with regional local governments and community groups towards establishing two new community resource centres. A Gnowangerup facility is to be developed by the Shire of Gnowangerup and has attracted grant funding from a range of State Government programs, including the Regional Development Scheme (RDS). The Mount Barker Community Centre has been driven by the Baptist Union of WA in partnership with the Shire of Plantagenet. As with previous resource centre developments, the GSDC has allocated some funds through the RDS and has worked with the proponents in developing proposals to other State and Commonwealth programs.
The GSDC will continue to assist other local governments and community groups in the development of community resource centres. The Commission is also working closely with the region’s Telecentres in order to expand those agencies’ operations and services.
