Residents' group forms

A Hardys Bay residents group has been formed at a meeting at the Killcare Beach Surf Club recently.

President Mr Adrian Williams has outlined his organisation's plans for the future which place a "strong emphasis on developing a close and harmonious liaison with government bodies, councils, businesses and community groups".

"Our commitment to the residents of Hardy's Bay and the neighbouring communities is to assist in providing and sustaining a healthy environment and lifestyle," Mr Williams said.

Mr Williams stated that the effectiveness of the group would be based on the positive approach of finding solutions rather than seeking objections.

The group's blueprint embraces a broad range of issues, of short and long-term consequence, which contain matters of vital concern to the local communities such as siltation, mangroves, retaining walls, boating facilities, mosquitoes, drainage, parking, neighbourhood and boat watch, bay and foreshore cleanups, water quality and birds and fishing.

Mr Williams said no particular political alliances would be sought.

The aim would be to work positively with all parties.

The general workload would be shared, with members of the Residents Group allocated issues for the necessary action to be taken.

Hardy's Bay resident Mr Bill Egan will serve as vice-president.
