The Atherton Gardens $43 million redevelopment was officially launched on the 20th of October 2010, after many years of planning. The development is due for completion by September 2012, and will include 152 new homes at Atherton Gardens, a new childcare centre, office and retail space and 127 car spaces.
It has come to fruition by strong support of the state government, the Brotherhood of St Laurence, The City of Yarra, United Care (Broadmeadows) and the Atherton Gardens residents association (AGRA) amongst other local organisations.
yarraReporter is a training program giving public housing estate residents in the City of Yarra the skills and means to publish stories that matter to them and their community.
This civic journalism project is an initiative of Infoxchange Australia to build skills, capacity, social contribution and leadership amongst residents by modelling cooperative social change in community activities, local news gathering, editing, writing, interviewing and internet-broadcasting.
The work seen on this website is a combination of the trained yarraReporters, journalists and the University students that help facilitate the courses and is updated regularly. If you would like to get involved, please contact us.
