Neighbourhood Renewal was launched at the Collingwood Public Housing Estate in November 2002. Many achievements have been marked and celebrated on the estate in the ensuing period. Some of the changes  have taken place in the physical environment, some in perceptions of the estate and some in individual community members themselves. This document reflects upon some of those achievements and maps out plans for the coming years.

Heroin use arguably sits at the centre of some of the most serious social problems experienced by Australians. A considerable body of research has been compiled, in respect of both the aetiology of heroin addiction and the policy options for the control of illicit drugs. Much of this research has been informed by not always helpful intellectual and practical assumptions. However, little if any research has tried to capture the experience of heroin users, and their social relationships and practices.
