As Melbourne’s Western growth corridor continues to flourish, Woodlea is proud to announce a new partnership with Neighbourhood Watch as part of its ‘Building Community Together’ program.

For 37 years, Neighbourhood Watch has been helping residents look out for one another, make connections and build safer communities as they believe connected communities deliver better well being and health benefits for residents and provide a sense of being safe and secure.

Typically, Neighbourhood Watch programs are rolled out once a suburb is reasonably established but the new ‘Building Community Together’ program is focused on new communities, like Woodlea, to build a sense of well being and connectedness amongst residents and to empower community members with the knowledge and tools to continue the program independently, long after the project is completed.

Woodlea is pleased to be one of only 12 Australian developers to partner with Neighbourhood Watch on the new program and will be the first in Victoria to roll it out, which is an achievement in itself!

Through the program, we hope to establish a Community Group who will have an in-depth understanding of Neighbourhood Watch and can educate and empower other residents to build a connected community.
