Community Participation in Black Creek
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A far higher share of people contribute their time to others in Black Creek than in the rest of the state. A quarter of the population volunteer, and the rate of unpaid care is much higher than the national figure. This creates a community where residents are heavily involved in supporting others.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
One in four people volunteer here, which is far above the New South Wales rate of 13% and the national figure of 14.1%. This level of community activity is much higher than in most other similar areas.
