Community association to hold annual meeting

The annual meeting of the Killcare-Wagstaffe Community Association will be held from 7:30pm in the Wagstaffe Hall on May 14.

The meeting will provide residents and association members the opportunity to discuss key issues of concern and plan for the future of the association and its vision, goals and activities.

Association president Ms Peta Colebatch said of interest to the meeting would be the recent inclusion of Killcare in the Mobile Black Spot Program.

"Killcare is receiving funding for a Telstra macro base station to provide improved coverage to areas of Killcare, Killcare Heights, Hardys Bay and Wagstaffe," Ms Colebatch said.

"Minister for Regional Communications Ms Bridget McKenzie said construction of the new mobile phone towers will get underway soon.

"We welcome progress with this important issue, tempered however by our concern that the proposed single macro tower not be obtrusive in our special natural landscape.

"As many of you will know we had made strong representation calling for a number of unobtrusive micro towers rather than a single large tower.

"The proof will be in the execution and we hope against hope that our fears will prove groundless," Ms Colebatch said.
