“The city’s community development team will work with you to connect you with like-minded community members and provide support to get your ideas off the ground.”
The project will launch tonight at the Ellenbrook Community Library, with social entrepreneur and community enthusiast Peter Kenyon hosting the event.
Ellenbrook ward Councillor Cate McCullough said the free event would be an exciting evening of storytelling and idea sharing.
“The launch is a chance to learn more about the project, connect with your neighbours and enjoy the fun activities on offer,” she said.
