Minutes of Inaugural Bellbowrie Community Association (BCA) Meeting

Please find attached a copy of the minutes from the inaugural meeting of the Bellbowrie Community Association (BCA).
 
The meeting was held as part of the formal process of incorporating the BCA and I'm pleased to say that now the Constitution has been approved, an application is being sent to QLD Government. It is expected that we should receive approval in the next 3 to 4 weeks and we'll then be able to open a bank account and take out insurances to allow us to hold events, hire venues (etc.) in our own right. 
 
Membership Drive - our community can register on the BCA Website (http://www.bellbowrie.org) for free to keep up to date with our activities - however free membership will not have BCA voting rights. Please promote free membership of this website as it will evolve into our main communication channel.
 
Once we are formally up and running, we will commence a paid membership drive and commercial support to cover the running costs of the BCA. We would welcome your thoughts on the annual cost of membership. We had $20 per year in mind, but we welcome your feedback on this? 
 
Website Development we are looking for volunteers to assist...

• Website Administrators & Developers with experience in Drupal to assist in developing and administration of the website CRM;
• Content Contributors to upload stories of interest and news;
• A Website Marketing Team - to talk with clubs/associations/ about free listing on the website and businesses about sponsored listings. 

Next Meeting - once we receive the formal registration of the BCA, we will have the next meeting to plan our next moves. I expect this will be in the latter part of August.
 
Onwards & Upwards!

No Response From Bellbowrie Plaza to the Community Consultation Report

Here is a copy of the letter we posted by Registered Post to Mr Cher, Bellbowrie Plaza Manager on 2nd July 2010 which enclosed a copy of our Community Consultation Report. Given that we have had no response from Mr Cher to date, we must assume he does not want to meet with a community representative to review the report.   Be assured that we will continue to positively campaign for our community to support the businesses at Bellbowrie Plaza, for without our support they will not have the money to re-invest in the Plaza. Please get behind them, for I suggest that the lack of consultation from the Plaza Management is not representative of the individual business owners attitudes' to the Community.   The Bellbowrie Community Association (http://www.bellbowrie.org) has drafted it's constitution and will be meeting next week (dates, time & venue to follow) to formally pass it so we can incorporate, apply for grants & collect funds and be even more effective in working towards a better Anstead, Bellbowrie, Moggill, Pullenvale & Pinjarra Hills   Onwards & Upwards!
