ORC / Our Community Partnership

The Outdoor Recreation Centre Inc has recently undergone a Strategic review for the period 2005-2008. A priority for the organisation is to source valuable partnerships.

The ORC has referred to ourcommunity.com.au for some time and are very pleased that our relationship has grown to enable us to:
Raise awareness of ourcommunity.com.au
Identify resources that are particularly relevant to the outdoor community
Provide direct links to those resources
Increase the consistency of information among Victorian
community organisations.
