Hall: The first live CGDN website in the ACT!

10/Jun/2008

Today Mary Porter AM, MLA for Ginninderra, will launch the new Hall community website at www.hall.act.au

Hall are joining the growing network of trusted Australian community websites and are the first Australian Capital Territory locality to go live at its Community Geographic Domain Name!

The website is an initiative of the Village of Hall and District Progress Association, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Hall.

Progress Association President Alastair Crombie says: “In many ways communities were better connected in the horse and buggy days. People had more time to talk, shared interests, and a common fate in the face of weather, fires and wool prices. We hope the website will help people connect – with each other, with what is going on, with local business ventures, and with our heritage”.

“Previous generations used the Progress Association to get Hall connected to power, water and sewerage; in that fine tradition we are now claiming a place for Hall on the world wide web and connecting to the ‘information superhighway’ "

Hall are leading the way in the ACT with their new collaborative home on the net, demonstrating how a community can successfully work together for a common goal to benefit everyone who lives, works and visits their unique locality.

Please visit www.hall.act.au to learn more about their community.
