We are working collaboratively and compassionately to strengthen Uki and its surrounding communities to become more connected and resilient in this changing world.
We are here to support and inspire the community to help themselves and each other.
Your Neighbourhood
You don’t have to be good friends, but being a good neighbour can make all the difference to your wellbeing.
Our Neighbourhoods Project, stretching from Mount Burrell to Mount Warning Road, is helping us to become a better prepared and resilient community, well equipped and confident to look after ourselves.
Whether you’re new to the area or you’ve lived here for years, find out more about your neighbourhood here.
