Unveiling a new chapter for Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre

For all its natural beauty, tourism drawcards and idyllic lifestyle opportunities, the region we call home still has significant social issues impacting the community. The Wide Bay-Burnett region, of which the Fraser Coast is a part, is home to some of Australia’s best beaches, whale watching sites, heritage buildings and family-friendly experiences. But it is also home to crippling unemployment rates, crushing loneliness and everyday struggles to connect and just get by.
