Nambucca Valley Radio is the manager of this community site.

“Our 2NVR team is keen to deliver social benefits to the local community,” President Donna Collins said.
“We are dedicated to providing an accessible community service.

“The grant has allowed us to improve signage, clean the free community tennis court, purchase outdoor picnic tables and chairs and improve lighting so visitors and volunteers can safely access the site at night.”

Secretary Elizabeth Newman agrees.

“We want to encourage visitors to utilise the free tennis courts and attend 2NVR monthly Free Studio 3 Live-to-Air Music performances by local musicians,” Elizabeth said.

“Our Multipurpose Centre is a free space for sharing and inclusiveness.

“Promoting mental health and well-being is our highest priority.”

2NVR’s focus is on strengthening community connections and improving local community participation.

The radio station has over 40 volunteer on-air presenters, and the committee’s inclusive strategic planning involves the elderly, youth, CALD, disabled and Gumbaynggirr people.

A variety of roles are available for anyone wishing to volunteer.

This small infrastructure project has improved safety and provided all participants, visitors, volunteers and musicians equal access to the site.

Nambucca Valley Radio used local suppliers’ and volunteers’ in-kind donations for the project.

2NVR would like to thank Pat Conaghan and Matt Field for their support during this grant process.
