Party in the Park
Most parents are in the dark when it comes to what support services are available to them.
In fact, when asked what prevented them from accessing services in a council survey in 2020, 90 per cent of parents answered they “didn't know what was available”.
To help connect parents with service providers and playgroups, council is throwing a party in the Civic Precinct park in Gordon Street.
