Bay Connect, is a service managed by The Hervey Bay Neighbourhood centre and Community Connect Fraser Coast Inc and welcomes locals and tourists to its website. Information on regional community, tourism, business and government organisations, including Bay Connect products and services.

The Bay Connect web site was built as a community Work for The Dole Project and was first launched in October 2004.  The site was built using the Mambo (CMS) Content Management System and up to June 2010 has received over 488,000 hits to the front (home) page.  To maintain the site it became necessary to upgrade the software to the Joomla CMS.
