The Association has booked the Shoal Bay Holiday Park conference room and is ready to go. The invitation flier is attached below with pdf forms regarding the Agenda, plus Committee Nomination Forms available with a click.

Shoal Bay Foreshore
The response from locals and the general public has been very positive in regards to the redevelopment of the foreshore park. Unfortunately a number of people have taken exception to the planted trees and have poisoned them.
Council is going to undertake replanting and put up notices in regards to the poisoning and will take action against any culprits.
