Current and Recent Projects
Infrastructure Assessment
In 2011, Aboriginal Affairs Victoria has commissioned a comprehensive assessment of the current and future infrastructure requirements of key Aboriginal community organisations in Victoria.
The information gathered in this project will be used to support the development of a strategic plan to assist Indigenous organisations to make appropriate decisions on infrastructure and ensure that future government investment is targeted effectively.
