There was music from the Lyneham High School Senior Jazz Band, BASK and The Cashews. There were stalls selling warm clothing, soup and cakes and, of course, a sausage sizzle, and some brave souls tucking into free ice cream. There were more than $700 worth of donated prizes awarded for best lantern and best clothing art.
There was even a show by fire twirler Pyro Monkey. If you have not seen him perform yet, I have a beaut video of a snippet of what we got to see on the evening, so please check it out. I congratulate the Lyneham Community Association for all their hard work in putting together the event and thank them for their continuing work in bringing the community together.
As I said in yesterday’s adjournment, achieving a first in anything, no matter what it is, is hard. Campbell Community Association held their inaugural meeting on Sunday, and I was very humbled to be asked to address the meeting on the importance of community engagement.
Luisa, Marg, Sara, Tom and Julie have done a tremendous job establishing the group and getting their neighbours engaged. Through letterbox drops, doorknocking and a wide range of social media portals, they brought in well over 50 residents on a cold Sunday afternoon for their first meeting.
Campbell is a well-established suburb in my electorate of Kurrajong and has a rich history of an active neighbourhood watch and neighbours who value the unique characteristics of their suburb. In recent times Campbell has been the subject of many developments, and the residents are keen to make sure that the future of Campbell is sustainable and befitting the suburb they love and hold dear.
Having had the opportunity to meet with many Campbell residents and the core committee, I have no doubt that the Campbell Community Association has a bright future, and I look forward to working with them.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.55 pm.
