Community Partnerships
The community investment activities undertaken by ConnectEast demonstrate our commitment to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.
Our ongoing partnerships include:
EastLink Road Safety Programs
ConnectEast is proud to be associated with road safety programs in partnership with the Eastern Football League (EFL) the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL) and the Box Hill Reporter District Cricket Association.
Safe roads and safe driving are of paramount concern to ConnectEast, demonstrated by the fact that EastLink is already one of Victoria's safest roads.
The programs developed in partnership with RoadSafe, Safety Sense, RACV and TAC provides local football and cricket clubs and their players with the information and knowledge to make good road safety decisions and become leaders in positive decision-making.

The program provides students with the information and knowledge to become leaders in positive decision-making and a healthy lifestyle. Road safety education, an issue ConnectEast is passionate about, is an integral part of the program.
