Year of slow progress for community association

It has been a year of slow progress, according to the Wagstaffe-Killcare Community Association.

"It's taking ages for the Turo Park developments to take place, our hoped for progress on the Half Tide Rocks track has struck bureaucratic hurdles, despite the generations that have used this track, and it took until November 19 for the ferry service to resume after its long absence," said association president Ms Peta Colebatch.

"However, some things remain constant, the superb work of all of our volunteers, those many people who give true meaning to the sense of community, who donate their time, skills and energy to not only our Association but to the many others supporting this area in which we live.

"And while it's invidious to single out individuals, I must pay a special tribute to Ken Tough, who has declaimed and carved his magic into the specially chosen wood for the Tom Jackson memorial seat, which was formally unveiled at our December 10 meeting to be held.

"Tom's not only worked his magic here, but he's also worked his magic on the drainage system at the community hall, fixing a problem of many years standing.

"Ken's offsider, Julie Ho, is to be thanked too," Ms Colebatch said.

"We are hoping for good luck and much progress in 2019, and more success with some of our long standing projects.

"We're hoping that never again do we have a similar deferment of our ferry services.

"What we're thankful for always is the great nature of the people in this community, who do so much for our social fabric and who keep things going in so many ways."
