Local doers don't wait for somebody else to step up. They are positive and proactive. They take a chance and connect locally. From doom scrolling to doing. They're getting to know their neighbours, backing local businesses, turning overlooked spaces into places people actually love. Anybody can be a local doer and its these small actions that lead to positive change

This is the Town Team way and there's a place in this movement for everyone. Tag the local doers in your life 🧡

By Us, For Us – Our Community Journey
🗓 2020 | Listening begins (Maddington)
Conversations, youth voices and community consultations highlighted a shared hope: more safety, belonging and cultural respect. People spoke openly about loneliness, discrimination, housing stress and finding their way through services.
🗓 2021–2023 | Learning together
Families, Elders and local services reinforced the need for culturally safe, trauma‑informed spaces and stronger connections that help people feel proud and supported.
🗓 2024 | A bigger picture emerges
It became clear that community life doesn’t stop at suburb boundaries. People live, move and belong across neighbourhoods.
🗓 2024–2025 | Expanding to the City of Gosnells
Our focus grew, building on strong foundations and shaping a truly place‑based approach led by community, not for community.
🗓 Now | From ideas to action
A diverse working group is coming together, building trust, sharing skills and turning local knowledge into practical action , starting small, learning as we go, and creating change by us, for us.
