BEYOND transformative infrastructure projects, Hansen Yuncken is a proud supporter of community initiatives that deliver real impact. Some of the projects and organisations that Hansen Yuncken has supported across the Goulburn Valley include:
- Billabong Nursery engaged by HY for both the Greater Shepparton Secondary College project in 2021 and Puckapunyal Live In Accommodation project in 2022. Social enterprise ConnectGV, which supports employment opportunities for people living with disabilities, was brought on board to help plant trees for both projects. This created opportunities to employ residents living with a disability, supporting ConnectGV to provide meaningful long-term employment for workers within their nursery complex.
- Shepparton Foodshare In 2020, HY donated $10,000 to Shepparton Foodshare to bring food to the tables of local families living in isolation during the pandemic.
- Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project A 1,270-litre freezer, worth more than $8,000, was also provided to the Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project to support their work with youth facing food insecurity.
- Andrew Hammer Pavilion Hansen Yuncken had the great privilege of playing a key role in a joint community commitment to save a special memorial destined for demolition when the former Shepparton High School was demolished to make way for the new Greater Shepparton Secondary College. HY, as part of a joint effort with the Hammer family and the Department of Education gave time and expertise to oversee the Pavilion’s relocation and rebuild, where it now sits in its permanent home at Kialla Recreational Reserve. HY’s local contractors and suppliers also threw their support behind the cause by generously donating their time, labour and materials.
