Bellingen Council has been developing an eco-village pilot project over the past few years.

Families impacted by domestic violence and involved in family law proceedings in the regions, including services in locations at Lismore and Coffs Harbour, will have improved access to support as part of a major project expansion.

The Casino Drill Hall Precinct has been completed with the unveiling of the final project, a granite monument honouring Diggers as the centrepiece.

With a vision to disrupt the cycle of women’s homelessness, the Linen SHIFT project was born to provide unique individual support and education for at-risk women in a safe residential environment, but today they they have been forced to close.
