Have you ever have felt powerless to make a difference? Ever thought that your opinion does not count or that you are unable impact the world and what happens to your life and lifestyle right now and into the future?  Do you  really want to have a say in how your tax dollars are spent?

 

Have you ever wondered why it often appears other areas always seem to be receiving more funding to develop their area at the expense and neglect of our own?  It’s very simple.  These areas apply pressure on the appropriate bodies (like our own Council, State and Federal governments) and communicate their needs as a group.  The old adage “strength in numbers” holds true today as did all those years ago.  This is important to us as the representative voice in the area since the more members we have, the more seriously our needs and demands are considered by our own Hobsons Bay Council, State and Federal governments and the many other associations and organisations we communicate with.

 

What is expected of you as a member of ABAGRA?  “NOTHING AT ALL!” Unless you have a particular interest and wish to offer your assistance in some way. ABAGRA management consists of  duly elected local individuals prepared to do what is necessary, on a voluntary and unpaid basis, to keep the association going and to impact on its’ objectives, as dictated by the members and for the betterment of our local area.

 

Is ABAGRA a political association?  No.  ABAGRA is not politically aligned to any party whatsoever and has short, medium and long term objectives stretching as far as 30 years into the future.  We really don’t see a difference who is in power at the time.

 

Things to consider for you, your family and your grand children:

New and innovative playground/sports equipment and facilities for our kids and adults alike to enjoy throughout all the seasons, better and safer roads, schools with enough supplies, a cleaner more vibrant environment, a convenient and reliable bus service, more trees in the public area, landscaping and an infinite number of other issues are considered.  By developing our area we indeed add value to our community. As a spin off this raises our house values and the general profile of the area.  Even as a newly established Residents Association, our impact on your behalf has been effective. You can read about it on this website and in newsletters we distribute throughout the year. 

 

We trust you will attend or decide to become involved by completing the form on the back and returning it to P.O. Box 498 Altona 3018 or you can always bring it along with you to one of our meetings.  For an investment of only $5 per household per year for ABAGRA to work on your behalf, it makes good sense, doesn't it?
