Sociology VCE Units 3 & 4 Practice Question 1a – Selected community classification

Q1a Sociology Selected community classification Unit 4 - AOS 1

A local council is considering whether to provide funding and a dedicated meeting space for a group called Night Kitchen Collective. The group began as a public social media page where people shared surplus food and recipes to reduce waste. It has since developed into a network that:

  • posts weekly requests and offers of ingredients and cooked meals
  • runs a fortnightly in-person cook-up at a neighbourhood hall
  • has volunteer coordinators who set guidelines about food safety and respectful communication
  • includes members who live across several suburbs, with some members only participating online

The council wants to know whether Night Kitchen Collective should be treated as a community for the purposes of funding and planning.
