The West End Community Association (WECA) is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, incorporated association of residents and friends of Kurilpa (West End, Hill End, Highgate Hill and South Brisbane). Since forming in 2004, we have celebrated and promoted our values and the people that make Kurilpa a vibrant and diverse community by: advocating on behalf of our community on issues such as sustainable development and access to public spaces; organising community events including the Kurilpa Derby and the West End Film Festival; and keeping residents and friends of Kurilpa informed about local issues, events, and initiatives through our page and newsletter. The Association is open to and welcomes residents (owners and renters alike), community organisations, and local businesses to join with us in our initiatives. Residents and friends of Kurilpa can become members of WECA to support our activities and have your say on what WECA does and how we operate.

Our Social Media Policy:
WECA’s social media are moderated sites that aim to raise awareness about events and issues in Kurilpa (West End, Hill End, Highgate Hill, South Brisbane). We also post material of interest about liveability, urban design, and other topics related to our activities or those that we think our community would find interesting. We encourage meaningful contributions to discussions about our community. We reserve the right to delete or hide a comment or post on our page if it contains:
- Swearing or offensive language
- False statements or information
- Personal abuse or attacks
Users risk being blocked from this page if they repeatedly post material that hinders meaningful and constructive discussion, if they refuse to substantiate repeated claims with evidence, or if the user does not accept the response and feedback from the moderator. As a non-partisan community association that values transparency in the community’s interest, users will also be expected to declare any official political party affiliations in the case of repeated partisan political statements. Such affiliations include volunteer roles with political parties or candidates. We welcome you to contact WECA directly if you have legitimate concerns about our campaigns or activities.
