A SHOP FRONT OFFICE - A GREAT SUCCESS FOR MAFFRA LANDCARE!!
In September 2007 the Maffra & Districts Landcare Network moved its staff out of various office accommodation sites into one central shopfront location at 61 Johnson Street, Maffra. The move came about for a number of reasons but most importantly it was aimed at ensuring that all the Landcare staff would be working in the same office. The shopfront office is a narrow brown building on the southern side of the main street in the heart of Maffra. Thanks to sponsorship from Exxon Mobil we have our Landcare logo and name displayed on the front archway.
