Urban Communities understands the financial and social importance of having access to education and employment opportunities.

As part of our Community Building Plan we provide residents with opportunities to take part in education, training and employment through our partnerships with labour market programs, local training providers, local traders and through creating community enterprise initiatives. We also recognise the value and opportunities provided by volunteering and lifelong learning. Please click here to download a PDF file of our Community Building Plan.
