Thai Night at the next Fire Shed DinnerSaturday 16th September from 7.00pm
Buggy PhotoshootSaturday 2nd Sept. 2pm Could my fellow Island golf buggy and light vehicle owners come together this Saturday around 2pm for a group photo shoot below the SI Bushfire HQ? The reason is that three of us from the SIRA committee are to meet on Monday with Ben Taylor, Deputy General Manager of Northern Beaches Council and staff to discuss among other things progress, if any, of discussions with RMS on conditional licensing of buggies and their management according to the Island Traffic Plan. The feeling is it’s an issue which we need to push along. The photo is my idea of giving a face to the diverse group who have embraced a buggy as an environmentally friendly, mode of transport for Seniors, the less mobile, mums with young children, and the pack-horses and trolley pushers who have found these sturdy little vehicles ideally suited for our roads of varying steepness and unstable surfaces. Also they are a far more island-friendly vehicle than cars. Looking forward to seeing as many of you who can make it, buggies included. Jane Rich, Natalie Phillips and other supporters
 On a recent visit to the city my 10 year old daughter Lauren was saddened by all the homeless people she saw. When we returned she announced that she was going to do something to help them and decided on a pop up café at Catherine park. After a bit of researching she decided to donate the money to the Exodus Foundation. The Exodus Foundation support by offering food services, access to GP's, counselling and dentists services, providing legal services and art, music and sport activity groups. More information can be found at exodusfoundation.org.au. Please come whether there is rain, hail or thunder as the hall is booked!
NOTICESConstruction Update - Church Point UpgradeOur contractor, Ward Civil, is continuing with the construction of the new roadway and car park at Church Point.The new boardwalk and road realignment will be opened to the public on Monday 4 September, 2017. It is important to note that a 40km/hr road work speed limit will be in place until the Car Park and final road works are completed early in 2018. The new road alignment and temporary work zone set up for the next stage of works will result in reduced access to the Cargo Wharf for large trucks and no access for semi- trailers. Users of the Cargo Wharf are also reminded of the following existing load restrictions on the Cargo Wharf:
