Connecting Sebastopol
It's an exciting time for The Burra, and your voice has never been more important. A Sebastopol Community Meet-Up group has begun gathering regularly to connect, collaborate, share ideas and advocate for our suburb. Representatives from a range of local organisations and businesses as well as residents attend, all passionate about our Burra.
We have a new Connecting Sebastopol website promoting all things local and you can stay connected via the Connecting Sebastopol Facebook page. The Sebastopol Community Newsletter is the centre piece of the Connecting Sebastopol project.
If you have questions or feedback, would like to submit content for the newsletter, want to ensure your business is featured in the online directory, want to tell a great yarn about your local experience, or you're passionate about advocacy and would like to be part of the Community Association, GET IN TOUCH!
