Family and Community Place is a purpose-built community hub which aims to improve community connectedness and health and education outcomes for the Yarrabilba and Logan Rivers community. It provides access to health, education and other social services for families in the region. It does this through inclusive and flexible services in a safe and supportive environment with a soft entry model.
The Best Practice Guide for Social Infrastructure provides examples of human service agencies working collaboratively and innovatively to address current and arising social infrastructure challenges. These demonstrate how collaborative place-specific responses provide options to address social infrastructure needs in different communities while ensuring wise infrastructure investment. Successful approaches include making better use of existing infrastructure by repurposing or sharing facilities, using alternative methods like technology to deliver services, or collaborating on solutions that leverage funding or encourage co-location. None of these initiatives can occur without holistic long-term planning that allows for appropriate timing and sequencing of infrastructure provision.
We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.
