About Us Since 1979, Around Laverton has been providing the residents and business people of Laverton-Altona Meadows with timely information on community activities, businesses operating and services available in the immediate area, and other matters of interest.  Our people want to know what is happening in their community.
	Around Laverton is a monthly community newspaper.  We publish 10 (ten) issues a year – from March to December – and deliver the paper free of charge to the people in our local community. The paper is run completely by volunteers – from our writers through to our layout people.  Volunteers even distribute it every month to homes and shops in the area. Advertising, promotion, arranging printing and delivery of the paper each month, plus other administrative roles, are all carried out by volunteers. We have 14 writers, 5 committee members, 55 deliverers, and 5 bulk deliverers.  Some of these people do two or three of these jobs.  Contributors include our local solicitor, vet, computer business, and sporting and community groups in the area. We started Around Laverton in 1979, when Laverton was a divided country town. Our aim was to try and connect the town.  At that time, RAAF families occupied about half of Laverton’s homes, and the freeway and the railway divided the town itself. We provided a much-needed service, because the local paper at the time was only delivered sometimes, and the stories were only about Werribee.
With Around Laverton, our aim was to connect all of Laverton by providing information about our area to the local people, and we are still doing this today – nearly 30 years later. Local businesses and suppliers find Around Laverton provides them with value for money in reaching both existing and potential customers in the area.  We reach more than 6,000 people in: Laverton Seabrook Altona Meadows Sanctuary Lakes Hoppers Crossing Werribee Werribee South.
