Taskforce opens newly extended “Ron Barnacle Building”
On the 27th July community group Taskforce celebrated the opening of its newly renovated Moorabbin premises.
The renovation and extension was funded by a combination of federal and state government grants, donations from Friends of Taskforce, Mile and Melbourne Newsboys, and the in-kind contributions of property developer Paul Yates.
The opening ceremony was also an occasion to celebrate the 20 year contribution of Ron Barnacle, President of the Taskforce board. Ron has been instrumental in Taskforce’s evolution into an organisation that touches the lives of over 3 000 people each year – helping them to break the cycle of drug and alcohol use, manage mental health problems and to get themselves back on track.
In recognition of Ron’s contribution, Taskforce has named the renovated building in his honour. The Ron Barnacle Building now has additional counselling spaces, new therapeutic spaces, family counselling rooms, a visiting practitioner’s suite, youth drop in lounge and fantastic training space. Senator Ursula Stephens officially opened the new “Ron Barnacle Building”.

Kingston Bayside Health and Wellbeing Strategic Directions Update
Background
Local Government, Community
Health Services and the PCP are required by legislative or funding
agreements to develop strategic public health / integrated health
promotion plans for their communities.
A unique opportunity has emerged, that post June 2009 the
planning cycles are aligned for the first time for each of these five
local Kingston Bayside plans.
This has presented an exciting opportunity to undertake a
collaborative planning process, to ensure common health and wellbeing
priorities and effective integrated health promotion activity across the
catchment.
Outcomes
A planning committee was established
with representatives from Kingston and Bayside City Councils, Central and
Bentleigh Bayside Community Health Services and the Kingston Bayside
PCP. After extensive consultation, the committee have now produced the final Kingston Bayside Health and Wellbeing Strategic Directions Paper which contains valuble information agencies may use to inform their planning for the next 3 years. |
The final report is now available for viewing by clicking on the link above and supporting documents such as detailed demographic and
relevant population health data will be available via this website shortly.
