Public Forum for the 5049 Coastal Community and Strategic Plan 15 May 2018
Thanks to all who attended our meeting at the BSYC on May 15 2018 . It was a great night with high energy, participation and support. It was great to see such a huge turnout and we appreciate how willing our local community is to get involved.
Whilst the main focus of the night was the Kingston Park Reserve, we also took the opportunity to welcome Seacliff residents, who were well represented on the night, to the Association and to outline our Strategic Plan.
We encouraged those present to complete a simple questionnaire on the night, providing contact details so to allow us to communicate more effectively with our community, and indicating willingness to assist the Association in various ways.
On the night we asked for help from our community and were extremely happy with the result:
