 After the decline in the decades following the privatisation of the SECV, many recent events have assisted in restoration of positive community sentiment.Two large events illustrating this are the Kelso Road Project, and the Yallourn North Christmas Festival.There is also an annual Australia Day breakfast on 26 January at the Lion's park, as well as a morning ANZAC Day Service on Reserve Street at the memorial on 25 April 

The Yallourn North community came together following the deaths of two members of the Sporton family.
