IMPORTANT CHANGES to Settlement Support Services
Due to funding changes, Lockyer Valley Regional Council will no longer act as the provider of Settlement Support Services within the region.
Multicultural Development Australia (MDA) has received the new Government funds to work with refugee families in the Lockyer Valley.
Lockyer Valley Regional Council can still assist refugees and migrants with regular Council services.
