Your most direct way to talk to the powers that be! We are often attended by
- Federal, State, and Local Government members, and
- the Property Developers represented also.
Meetings are more proactive towards good things, rather than reactive against bad things.
That's becasue we have shaped our meetings around the following portfolios (from the Community Plan) which tie in with people's interests:
A whole $2 per year, payable at the Annual General Meeting in July.
BGRA Annual General Meetings occur on or as close as possible to the last Monday of July.
This is open to the public, so if you would like to come, contact bgranews@hotmail.com, or check with the contacts above, to confirm venue and time.

On ice
Currently the BGRA is "on ice," somewhat a victim of its own success:-
In 2009/2010, BGRA incubated 4 organizations (Spring in the Grove, Neighborhood Watch, The Pod, the computer lab)
- which have became standalone incorporations, but drained the volunteers out of BGRA
So the remaining office bearers are simply holding BGRA for any residents who want to come and use it.
Maybe we're holding it for you? What do you want to do together?
Who can help
