Voices for Macnamara.
Macnamara deserves a community that listens. We bring neighbours together, from Port Melbourne to Elwood and Southbank to Caulfield, for meaningful conversations about what matters. We host weekly door knocking and volunteer stalls, run dinner table discussions and hold monthly community meetups. Anyone can join. All you need is to be a local and be willing to say hi!
