AN emergency meeting will be held on Monday, 1 December to decide the future of the Tomaree Residents and Ratepayers Association (TRRA).
At the Annual General Meeting of the TRRA on 20 October, there were insufficient nominations to form a committee for the 2025–26 year.
“Without a functioning committee, TRRA cannot continue to operate,” the existing committee said in a statement.
“The outcome of this meeting will determine whether TRRA continues, transfers to another entity, or winds up entirely.”
The meeting will be held on 1 December from 6pm at the Nelson Bay Bowling Club.
A minimum of five office bearers and committee members must be selected (maximum of 12).
The committee says the meeting comes at a crucial time for the TRRA and the community.
“Over the past 12 months, TRRA has been busier than ever – monitoring development proposals, attending Council meetings, preparing submissions, and keeping residents informed about issues that shape our community.
“Our recent work has included challenging major developments, such as the proposed d’Albora Marina redevelopment; reviewing and submitting feedback on the 1 Yacaaba Street variation, which has significant implications for the height, scale, and character of Nelson Bay’s town centre; and advocating for transparency and proper community consultation in planning and infrastructure decisions that affect all of us.
“To lose TRRA now would be a major setback for local residents and the broader Tomaree community.”
