Welcome To Bay Connect
Bay Connect, is a service managed by The Hervey Bay Neighbourhood centre and welcomes locals and tourists to our website. Our new phone number for 2012 - commencing 9/1/2012 is 4128 3400.
We HAVE moved to a new office and training room in Pialba (corner of Hunter and Torquay Rds) and will commence on the 9th January, 2012 to take your calls, offer internet and of course take the training referrals.
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 640,000 visitors. To maintain the site it became necessary to upgrade the software to the Joomla CMS and in 2011 again has been updated to the latest Joomla CMS.
