About Neighbourhood Houses

Also commonly known as community centres, learning centres, community houses or neighbourhood centres, these inclusive community-based organisations welcome people of all ages, abilities and walks of life, creating opportunities for people to enrich their lives through connections they might not otherwise make (www.nhvic.org.au/whats-a-neighbourhood-house).

Living & Learning Nillumbik is a proud member of Neighbourhood Houses Victoria and the North East Neighbourhood House Network. Our services and programs are developed in line with Community Development principles, based on community need. Community development empowers communities to identify and address their own needs and aspirations. It then utilises the existing strengths and assets within that community to make the community part of the solution.
