Mingle, our community development program
Jacka Mingle
The Jacka Mingle team is supporting Jacka residents to meet their neighbours, develop meaningful connections and discover shared interests.
The Jacka Mingle program provides regular opportunities for neighbours to connect through a range of creative, cultural and learning activities. These opportunities will evolve and grow as we get to know the local community. Our ultimate goal is that over time, initiatives become resident-led and are championed by the community.
