Report on CECS Community Discussion

On Sunday 4th May 2014, the SIRA Community Engagement and Communications Subcommittee (CECS) hosted a Community Discussion, attended by a small but enthusiastic group of both SIRAC and community members, to discuss various issues related to Parks & Reserves and Water & Wastewater.
 
Bill Gye welcomed participants followed by brief introductions from Judy Readman and Jenny Frazer (CECS). Group facilitators Sharon Kinnison (Parks & Reserves) and Judy Readman (Water & Wastewater) gave brief introductions, after which the participants chose a topic and engaged in thoughtful and frank discussion of the issues and possible solutions, with comments recorded on the paper tablecloths provided. The discussions concluded with a summary from both facilitators.
 
Following best practice in Community Engagement processes, a draft of the Comments Summary was distributed to participants for their final input along with an event evaluation form to complete.
 
Thanks to everyone who participated especially Emmie Collins for refreshments and Leanne McLean for colourful decorations both of which contributed to the welcoming atmosphere.
 
SIRA would like to welcome everyone to our Island Vision Drop-in in the Hall, next Sunday 22nd June from 10am as part of the Winter Solstice Festival. Come along and share your vision for this wonderful place we call home.

Red Shield Appeal 2014 - THANKYOU
 
Hi everyone,
 
Thanks to everyone who gave so generously to the Red Shield Appeal this year and to my small, but enthusiastic band of collectors (Emmie, Shona, Sylvia, and Greg). Together we raised $1200, which will certainly make a difference to the lives of those in need. Thanks also to Penny Gleen and the ferry drivers (Taylor, Kieran, Chad, Dave and Michael) and water taxis (Rod, Alex and Michael), Mary and Joe Romeo from the Church Point Waterfront Café and Quays Marina for their generosity of deed and spirit.
 
Thanks again,
Jenny Frazer
