Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place Association

Description

The Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place Association Committee of Management was established on 19th August, 2002, following the disbandment of the Wurreka Parruk Kuli Association. With no existing services in the Western Region of Victoria to cater for their Indigenous residents, the aim of the Gathering Place is to provide services and programs to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. This includes those residing within the catchment areas of Maribyrnong, Hobson's Bay and the Shire of Melton, Brimbank, Wyndham and Moonee Valley. The Western Suburbs Indigenous Gathering Place Association consists of six local Indigenous representatives on the Committee of Management.
