Building a stronger community through community events.
We support several local community festivals and events, partnering with event organisers, such as Trader Associations, to deliver events that promote connection and a positive impact for the shopping precincts.
“It is imperative that Maling Road be a thriving, successful shopping strip. It provides so much to the local and broader community. Our events are vital for deepening community connections. These events rely heavily on financial support, funding received from Community Bank Inner East allows the MRBA to offer unique and engaging experiences for everyone.
