Join us on Thursday 20 August for a special one‑day community event, held alongside the Extraordinary Stories exhibition.
This is your chance to explore the stories that matter most to our community and help guide the future collecting priorities for the Civic and Cultural Heritage Collection.
Drop in throughout the day for hands‑on activities, conversations, creative stations and story‑sharing sessions. Tell us what’s missing, what should be preserved, and what stories future generations need to know.
Whether you’re a long‑time resident, newly arrived, young person, community leader or simply curious — your voice will help shape how Greater Dandenong’s heritage is collected, shared and remembered.
Be part of the story. Be part of the future.
