What could we make happen together in Snells Beach?

At our recent interactive community hui on May 26, Snells locals shared ideas about young people, connection, community spaces, the future of the town centre, and ways to strengthen community life.

Project ideas:
We know not everyone could be there - so if you have an idea that could help make Snells Beach an even better place to live, we'd love to hear from you.
Projects can be big or small. They might bring people together, support young people, create community spaces, improve local connections, or help strengthen neighbourhood life.

📋 Submit an idea here: https://form.jotform.com/261467689746073

Then join us on:
📅 Thursday 11 June
📍 Snells Beach Community Hall
🍲 Soup and rolls from 6.00pm
💡 Community Project Marketplace from 6.30pm

Come and hear the ideas, meet others who care about the community, and help decide where funding should go.

One of our favourite comments from the first hui was:
"Those people haven't been talking to each other. Now they're talking."
Let's keep the conversation going.

Just two pals having a planning day together! 📝 Including an essential pit stop at the one and only Pete and Mary’s! ☕️ Did you know that Warkworth has a fun new bit of kit - an outdoor tennis table that you can borrow the gear for from the Library?! 🏓 How good!
