13.01.2022 Armagh, the Initiatives of Change Australia-Pacific Centre in Toorak, is getting ready to open its doors with a new look! Lockdown put a stop to the usual weekly activities but behind locked doors work happened. October was a big month, when lockdown restrictions eased in Melbourne. With tradespersons able to come on site at last, the pace ramped up. Quotes were sought for bathroom refurbishments. Painting happened. New carpet was laid.... Outdoors, landscapers began cleaning up, mulching, and replanting, and have installed an irrigation system and timers. We can't wait to welcome you back!
