Supporting CaLD Communities in the Town of Victoria Park

The Town of Victoria Park is proud to be a Refugee Welcome Zone, affirming our commitment to welcoming refugees and people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) backgrounds. We celebrate the rich diversity of our community and strive to foster inclusion, connection, and opportunity for all.

Our Library offers:
  • Multilingual collections and resources
  • English conversation groups
  • Digital literacy workshops
  • Cultural storytelling and community events
These programs are designed to support language development, social connection, and lifelong learning for CaLD residents.

We provide operational subsidies to community organisations to run programs that support and engage our diverse community as part of our broader capacity-building efforts. Two key partners in this space include:
  • Victoria Park Community Centre (VPCC): Offers multicultural playgroups, conversational English classes, cultural dinners, Noongar language programs, and weekly community meals.
  • Victoria Park Centre for the Arts (VPCA): Hosts multicultural exhibitions, cultural dinners, inclusive workshops, and collaborates with other intercultural centres to promote cultural sharing.

We are committed to strengthening our support and engagement with culturally and linguistically diverse communities. This page is a starting point to highlight existing services and build stronger connections with our diverse community.

Peace Pole

Did you know the Town has a Peace Pole at Millen Primary School?

The Peace Pole installation features two individual poles inscribed with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in English, Noongar, Braille, Mandarin, Nepali, Italian, Cantonese, Indonesian, Hindi and Vietnamese — reflecting the many cultures and languages that make up our community.

Proposed by a community member and endorsed by Council, the Peace Poles are a visible symbol of the Town’s commitment to supporting multicultural communities and fostering respect, understanding and inclusion.

Learn more about the Peace Pole Project at www.worldpeace.org/peacepoleproject, or read more about the Town's Peace Pole here.
