Newtown Public Housing CollectiveThe Newtown Public Housing Collective (NPHC) is a collaboration between local agencies and community. We work together to support public housing residents in Newtown build a stronger and more resilient community.
The Collective was established in 2020, members of the collective include Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, Inner West Council, Sydney Local Health District, Marrickville Legal Centre and Mission Australia all. The collective creates opportunities for community to come together, have conversations, build relationships and address issues that are important to them. Monthly BBQ’s are held on the first Tuesday of the month at Matt Hogan Reserve from 10.30am-12.30pm. There are a variety of activities available to take part in at the BBQ’s including garden games, craft, board games and robust conversations. We often have guests attend the BBQ’s to talk with community members such as Jenny Leong, Newtown’s Local member of parliament, representatives from Housing NSW and Inner West Local Area Command. |

Outreach at Newtown IGAOn the fourth Wednesday of each month the Community Strengthening Team partner with Inner West Police Area Command to host a pop up outside IGA on King Street in Newtown.
It is a great opportunity to meet the team and find out more about Newtown Neighbourhood Centre, get information about local services, hear about what’s going on in the local area and chat informally with the police. The pop up is particularly popular with young families as we have activity booklets and stickers of Constable Charlie Penguin, the mascot for NSW police, who plays a vital role in educating young children about safe adults and safe places. However everyone is welcome to come along and say hello. |
