The Living & Learning Nillumbik (L&LN) Advisory Committee has been established to provide a mechanism by which community representatives from Eltham, Diamond Creek and Panton Hill can discuss and advise on Neighbourhood House offerings, opportunities and challenges.

The Committee supports the three Living & Learning Hubs in being responsive to the needs of their local communities and providing a range of suitable and appropriate neighbourhood house activities, programs and events to enhance social connectedness and lifelong learning opportunities for participants and volunteers.

The Committee’s objectives are to:

  • Consult with and represent the voice and interests of Nillumbik residents regarding the Neighbourhood House programs offered at the Living & Learning Hubs
  • Provide a forum to discuss, facilitate and support local initiatives and collaborations (where possible) that aim to promote lifelong learning and social connection across Nillumbik
  • Act as Ambassadors for L&LN by actively promoting news, events, activities and issues relating to Neighbourhood House programs and events
  • Provide input, feedback and advice to Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, the North Eastern Neighbourhood House Network and Council on community needs and community development opportunities
  • Consider and provide advice to Council on its policies, plans and services that impact neighbourhood house activities and Neighbourhood House Coordination Program (NHCP) funding obligations
  • Consider and provide advice on key Government initiatives, programs and reviews
  • Represent the views and needs of Neighbourhood House participants within Nillumbik
  • Assist Council to communicate, consult and engage more effectively with the broader Nillumbik community
  • Strengthen partnerships with residents, community groups and services in Nillumbik
  • Contribute to a cycle of continually assessing and improving Nillumbik’s Neighbourhood Houses
  • Respond to and provide input and feedback on proposed strategies, policies or action plans developed by Council and/or L&LN
  • Support the L&LN team to review programs and implement continuous improvement strategies.
