Why your community needs a CGDN

There is only one true Geographic Internet Address for every locality - a Community Geographic Domain Name (CGDN)
  • It is the easiest way for your community to be found on the internet through the website address itself

  • Allows community and business organisations who can't afford their own website a web presence

  • You can become part of this "community of communities" who share ideas and support each other

  • Provides a springboard for community initiatives and engagement

Providing an employment section

One of the major issues in Mansfield is attracting doctors and other health professionals and after a request from the local community, an employment section was added to www.mansfield.vic.au 

 Outcomes:

The employment section on the Mansfield site has proved to the most visited area on their community website.


This has also inspired other communities to provide employment sections, including www.avoca.vic.au and www.wollombi.nsw.au
