VALLA BEACH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION (VBCA)

Welcome to October and Daylight Saving - a reminder to put your clocks forward 1 hour before bed on the Saturday night after the market on Saturday 6 October. The new look Valla Views has had a lot of good comments ie the layout makes it a little easier to read. Kuta Ave Bus Stop - the Nambucca Shire Council [NSC] apologise that the Bus Stop at Kuta/Valla Beach Road has not yet be relocated due to the programmed work on the V Wall and other capital works. ‘Thong’ seat - the VBCA met with the representatives of the Aboriginal Land Council [ALC] re the location of the thong seat at Middle Valla. It was agreed to relocate the seat to a position in Valla Reserve on the right side of the footbridge; the seat has been removed and is waiting for its place in the NSC’s works program to be installed at Valla Reserve. Cricket Pitch - in July the VBCA received a request to upgrade the Cricket Pitch on Anderson Park; a Valla Beach Cricket Club is in the process of being formed. This was discussed with NSC and the NSW Cricket Association and with the help of Nambucca Cricket Club, an application has been submitted for money to pursue this venture; and thanks to Teresa at the NSC it met the deadline. We will not know for a couple of months if the application is successful. Valla Beach Playgroup - have been successful in receiving a grant to enhance the play area behind the Hall. Next General Meeting of the VBCA will be held at the Valla Beach Community Centre on Monday 19

November commencing at 7pm. All are most welcome. VBCA holds 3 General Meetings each year in the Community Hall - this is one venue where you can ask questions and raise issues that you feel need following up. You can also use our facebook page http://facebook.com/vallabeachmarkets We also encourage you to call into the Market Office on Saturday 6

October and talk to one of our friendly Committee members.
