A Better Neighbourhood House for Northcote
A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will ensure the Jika Jika Community Centre is supported to provide the excellent range of programs and activities that the local community deserve.
The Jika Jika Community Centre supports Northcote locals with programs that build community connectedness, empower people, and help make Northcote a great place to live and thrive for everybody.
We’ll provide a $50,000 grant to Jika Jika Community Centre so that they can continue to deliver valuable services and programs to the community.
By continuing to invest in what matters, we will secure the future of this important community organisation.
The Andrews Labor Government has always delivered on what matters for local communities, ensuring neighbourhoods have accessible wellbeing and support services close to home.
Only Labor is doing what matters – backing the important community organisations that help us all.
