Role of the Forum/Committee

“As Chairperson of the Noble Park/ Keysborough Community Drug Action Forum I am committed to reducing the harmful effects of drugs in our local community – families in particular" Russell O'Brien, Chairperson.


The Noble Park/Keysborough Community Drug Action Forum (formerly known as the Noble Park Drug Action Committee) ran from 2001 - 2007. It was established in response to the growing community concern about the harm related to drug use in the local area.
