Crow Tribe has developed a proposal for a Co-op Garden Farm, that he would like to share with all members:
Goolawah Garden Farm – Proposal
He is inviting everyone interested to join a conversation to review the proposal ideas or add new ones, either on the Goolawah website (leave a comment below) or by contacting him directly.

On 29 March, with a quorum of four directors present, the board decided to suspend overdue charges on member accounts. Subsequently it was realised that our rules require five votes for that decision to be valid, and further agreement was not reached. So the decision was set aside, and no change made to the application of overdue charges.
The Board apologises for the kerfuffle, and the misunderstanding it caused.
As advised already, under government isolation restrictions, it is impossible for the community to meet publicly. As the April GM has been cancelled, the Directors will meet via Zoom teleconferencing on Monday 06 April at 9am, to discuss what would have been the GM agenda and perform operational tasks as needed.
Please consider the agenda below, and either leave any comments or questions here or contact any of the directors. To help make reports at the meeting directors will be contacting members involved in projects for their input. John Tennock will be attending too, so please direct any questions to him about the Treasurer’s Report.
The directors are careful to only make decisions about operational matters, like roads. They will either hold off or use a voting mechanism to obtain a formal community vote on items if necessary.
April (GM) Agenda 6.4.20 – Directors meeting
The Directors would like to reassure Goolawah members and their families that our community well-being is a priority. We will try to take precautions and follow guidelines outlined by government health departments.
The Australian Department of Health advises to maintain hand hygiene, avoid large gatherings (over 500 people) and self isolate if you have any symptoms (sore throat, cough, fever) – and use the Coronavirus helpline 1800 020 080, or call your doctor.
NSW Dept of Health says to call Healthdirect 1800 022 222 or your GP or go to Emergency.
Below are practical guidelines for personal health:
The community can find ways to help any sick members with supplies and support. As age is a significant factor in coronavirus susceptibility, we need to keep a closer eye on our senior members.
The board will be monitoring any official announcements that may affect our upcoming social gatherings.

As part of our Master DA consent conditions for the Co-op we are required to have disabled toilet access at the Camp Kitchen as a designated community facility.
Wayne Skinner discussed two options at the last general meeting, presenting design plans for either an extension to the existing toilet, or alternatively construction of a new double-chamber compost toilet structure.
His preliminary estimates put the build costs at about $5,000 or $10,000 respectively. Wayne is still refining these estimates and will publish the final budget proposals, with adequate time before any community vote.
Meantime members could consider the designs and two options, and provide Wayne with any feedback.
