Project North takes a community-led approach to empower and inspire locals in the northern suburbs of Launceston.

"What people long for is a chance to have their voice heard, to feel valued, understood and supported. Understanding that for a community to truly thrive, locals must have a say in its future." said Ray Green Project Lead.

This initiative is powered through collaboration and as such recognises and is thankful for generosity and support of Olive Road in partnership with City Mission North & North West TAS. Project North is about bringing people with a lived experience of their communities to the forefront of decision making when it comes to things that matter to them and aims to identify and alleviate some of the more persistent and complex social issues in the Northern Suburbs of Launceston. It hopes to achieve this through local communities working together around an agreed resident led collective impact approach. A key component of this project is the empowerment of local community members being the primary owners and changemakers when it come building a better future for those they love.

Ray Green (Project North – Community Development Lead) works alongside various place-based community stakeholders, such as the City of Launceston, the Northern Suburbs Community Centre, Starting Point Neighbourhood House, local community sheds, the Migrant Resource Centre, Community Housing Limited as well as government and business to help equip, resource and develop local leaders, facilitating the longer term viability of the project.
