THE City of Vincent and Nyoongar Outreach Services (NOS) has strengthened its partnership with a Partnership Understanding Agreement (PUA).
The agreement will last until June 2017, when it will be reviewed.

The City reviewed its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and it was decided a PUA would better reflect the partnership and working relationship between the two parties.
