Some Background Info

The Harcourt Community Plan identified interest in establishing a Community House or similar community services facility. There are 400 neighbourhood / community houses throughout the state, funded by the State Government who pay a coordinator to conduct a variety of services and activities which may then also generate fees and income. For example, the Lancefield Neighbourhood House runs their local op shop and farmers market which have raised in excess of $130,000 over the past 3 years, which goes to support other local community groups.

In Mount Alexander Shire, community houses exist in Castlemaine and Maldon while in Newstead they have a Rural Transaction Centre which operates as a community service hub.

You can read about the YMCA's invitation to come along to the Harcourt Outdoor Pool to check out the upgraded facilities: gates open Friday 21 November, from 4pm to 6pm.
As Councillor Cordy points out: 'The pool is a fantastic asset to our community'. It'd be great to see everyone there in a couple of weeks.
