It\u2019s a place where friendships will be formed, where support will be provided, where local groups will gather, families will connect, and where people will feel they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mayor John Raven spoke about the importance of community effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity doesn\u2019t happen on its own. Community takes effort, just like culture\u2026 and it only happens with the effort of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hub is expected to become a key base for community services and support as Flagstone continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Beaucare will play a central role in delivering outreach programs and community support services as the hub grows alongside Flagstone.<\/p>\n<p>Beaucare board member Simon McKenzie outlined the orginisation\u2019s ongoing vision for the Community Hub.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur experience tells us the Flagstone hub will be much more than a building, and represents a footprint for the future, and a foundation for outreach services that will grow alongside this community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Flagstone continues to expand, the hub is expected to grow with it, offering more programs, services and opportunities for residents to connect and access support.<\/p>\n<p>With its doors now open, the Flagstone Community Hub stands ready to become a place for Flagstone residents to come together and connect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mycitylogan.com.au\/?p=43903\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to stay up-to-date with news from across Logan.
