ReflectionsonRenewal is a multimedia project examining Neighbourhood Renewal - a program tackling disadvantage in Victorian Government housing areas by empowering residents to participate in finding solutions to the issues they face.

On this site you can read articles about, and hear audio recordings of residents involved in four innovative programs associated with Neighbourhood Renewal. Residents reflect on how the programs have affected their communities and the many challenges along the way.
