Council and the Mount Alexander Connectors network have delivered a number of community projects to build social connections in our community. The projects offered a variety of cultural, artistic, social and wellbeing activities to address the impact of COVID-19 on the community.
The network is continuing to meet in order to support our community and will provide updates to projects as they come to life.
