Community Forum and Pilot Boat
Community Forum and Pilot Boat – August 2009 update
“Community 3193 Forum” and the “Pilot Boat” navigating aid that goes with it, are initiatives of which the Beaumaris Black Rock Community Bank® is especially proud.
As a result of a gathering of Beaumaris and Black Rock Community Leaders on 27th May 2009, the Forum has made a submission to Bayside City Council for its 2009-2013 Council Plan.
Key areas of common interest identified in the submission are:
- “Measures of well-being” (community indicators) as a tool for social planning and community development.
- Enhancing volunteer participation by facilitating improved “matching” of those offering as volunteers, with those organisations and groups needing them.
- Strengthening the links between the “my3193″ website and the Council’s Information and Library services.
- Exploring more effective ways of harnessing and harmonising fundraising for community purposes: the potential for establishing a “community foundation” is one option.
We will keep you informed of developments !
