Established to provide a single voice of the community on topical issues, the Moore Park Beach Community Association strives to advocate for the community of Moore Park Beach and District to external stakeholders (political representatives, etc.) to achieve improved outcomes relating to lifestyle, environment and general amenity.

The Community Association meets on a regular basis (see the Calendar for dates, times and locations) to provide a forum for residents to discuss issues of concern and for guest speakers to provide discussions of interest to the community.  The Association also hosts adhoc forums relating to specific events (e.g. elections) and proposals, allowing residents and visitors to participate and become more informed about current issues.

The Community Association is governed by a Management Committee which is elected annually at it's August meeting.

The Community Association publishes a bi-monthly magazine titled Shorelines. This publication provides useful and interesting material for residents and visitors alike.  The May/June 2010 edition of Shorelines was the 100th issue published.  A printing plate from that issue is on display at the Community Centre as a memento of the occasion.

The Community Association manages the Moore Park Beach Community Centre for the Bundaberg Regional Council, hiring out the faciliity for weddings, social events and other activities.  For more information or to organise a booking, please contact the Association's Hall Co-ordinator, Sylvia, by phone on 4189 3320 or by email at silviaabel55@gmail.com

The postal address of the Moore Park Beach Community Association is:
PO Box 522, BUNDABERG QLD 4670

Get Involved - Make a difference!

Get involved.  Participate.  Interact.  All key elements of a successful and vibrant community.

There are many ways of being involved in the vibrant community life of Moore Park Beach:

• Join the Community Association: At only $5 a year, it's a bargain!  Membership allows individuals to fully participate in Community Association meetings, serve on the Executive Committee, and gives other member benefits.
• Attend Community Association Metings: Meetings are held every 3rd month; the meetings provide an opportunity for the community to quiz local elected representatives and to be informed about topical issues in and around Moore Park Beach.  The Executive Committee provides a report on what is happening locally, as well as allowing guest speakers to inform the community about other issues.
• Volunteer:  From time to time, the Association organises or hosts various events, usually in cooperation with other organisations.  Volunteering to assist with various tasks eases the load for others and enables these events to be more successful.  Contact the committee to ascertain how best you can help.
