3. The 90’s - Our Growing Years

The Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre Incorporated was underway. The centre’s aims were to build “neighbourliness”, provide information and support, take action on issues important to the community, assist in self-development and provide a comprehensive community service.  The centre grew from Emergency Relief, Adult Literacy and the Community Visitors Scheme to also providing Limited Hours Child Care, 60 & Better and the Multicultural Settlement Services Scheme. The ’Cottage’ was acquired to provide office space for the new programs. Throughout the 90’s, more and more programs were added to the list of services provided by the Hervey Bay Neighbourhood Centre. These programs included the Youth Mentoring Program, TransComCare and the Multicultural Respite Program.
