Mingle, our community engagement program
Jacka Mingle
We look forward to bringing the Mingle team to Jacka in 2024.
Our dedicated community development specialists work on the ground in multi-year commitments, creating connections across all aspects of our neighbourhoods. And Jacka is no different. The village-style landscaping and urban design of Jacka will support strong community ties, backed by the support of the Mingle team.
The future Jacka community will be able to contribute, shape and drive ideas. This includes projects and initiatives to build a strong, sustainable and connected neighbourhood.
