NIRAG/NF3 Report: Celebrate group’s 40th anniversary

The Northern Illawarra Residents Action Group (NIRAG) supports preservation of open space and retaining and enhancing our environment, European and Indigenous heritage. NIRAG held a Special General Meeting on 12 June and voted unanimously to voluntary cancel NIRAG Inc incorporation. This will simplify administration by removing the fees and reporting requirements of the Dept of Fair Trading. The group will continue as “NIRAG” with the same aims and objectives.

Celebrate NIRAG’s 40th

It is almost 40 years since NIRAG first formed to ensure that the proposed 40m-high coal bins were not built at Sandon Point. On Sunday, 18th August at 4.30pm, we will celebrate by gathering at the Black Diamond Bulli Heritage Museum, followed at 5.30pm by a social opportunity at Resin Brewery to have a drink or a meal. There have been many changes since 1984 and we want to remember and share this moment in history. To attend, reply to nirag@bigpond.com (by end of July, if possible).

10 Years of Bushcare

August 2024 will mark 10 years of Hewitts Creek Bushcare meeting on Monday mornings. Our Bush Regeneration skills and efforts have been rewarded with a WCC Community Grant, and we have planned an “Open Morning” to show our achievements to neighbours and the curious. Meet at Hewitts Creek Bridge, south side, on Sunday 25th August at 10am for site tour, drink & snack.

AGM on August 14

The next quarterly meeting (and the AGM) will be on Wednesday, 14 August at 7pm at the Bulli Community Centre (in the upstairs meeting room). All welcome.
