Gawad Kalinga is an international organisation directed at building and reshaping communities all over the world.

Dubbo resident Kerry Ellen is a member of the steering group, utilising the Gawad Kalinga ideas to reshape the Apollo Estate.

"Apollo Estate will be the first project in Australia initiated by Gawad Kalinga," Kerry said.

"Ideally we want to change the perception of this particular community."

"We're in the very early stages of the project, but we have a lot of fantastic ideas building up to get Apollo Estate back on track," Ms Ellen said.

"In the long run, we want to change and promote the physical beauty of the neighbourhood."

"We also want to create a group who can work together to approach financial institutions to discuss the idea of purchasing houses."

"So we're holding gatherings like this for now to draw in the community."

"If we want to succeed, we're going to need as many people on board as possible."

Gawad Kalinga Australia director of domestic programs Andrew Chalk attended the Lunar Park gathering to show his support of the project.

"The main reason I became involved in the organisation is because it offers a different approach to community support, rather than just turning straight to the government to ask for assistance," Mr Chalk said.

"It's a holistic approach."

"We encourage working on the human aspect of the community.

"If people can create these relationships with their own community and also with each other, it could lead to better opportunities in life."

Mr Chalk said the program is not hostile to government support, but aims at introducing different ideas to community members.
