CPPA Committee September update

Your CPPA committee has been busy keeping the community connected and the bush cared for.

On the money front, our rates rebate came through thanks to LMCC and some tireless advocacy, a real relief for our finances. Insurance with Landcare NSW has also been renewed, giving us peace of mind while we get on with the work. A grant writing workshop added fresh skills to our toolkit so we can chase more funding for projects.

At Progress Hall, improvements are on the way. Plans are forming for better disability access and bathroom renovations. The gutters are cleared, and some sagging insulation removed, though not before a ringtail possum moved in. A new nest box has been installed to give it a proper home.

Landcare continues to shine, with several sunny days and the Origin grant supporting Stansfield Reserve’s recovery. Rabbits have been identified as a challenge at Threlkeld Reserve, and the eastern part of Coal Point, while Cath’s tawny frogmouths were spotted again, albeit with-out chicks this season.

Ideas are bubbling for future gatherings, 80th Anniversary celebrations with music and dance, holiday programs, with grants to help bring in the right people to run them.
