Stay safe on our roads

Ballarat East Neighbourhood House and the Central Highlands Association of Neighbourhood Houses are proud to be recipients of 2021/2022 VicRoads Community Road Safety Grants. In partnership with VicRoads, we will be delivering free-of-charge information sessions for the community, promoting road safety.

Local trainer, Melissa Watts, will deliver the sessions to Neighbourhood Houses across the Central Highlands region in 2021/2022.
