Christmas Party 2012

Unfortunately due to falling numbers of members and a lack of support from the community, the Capertee and District Progress Association Inc will not be holding the annual Community Christmas Party in 2012.
It is unfortunate but unavoidable.

2012 has been a big year for Progress, with many hours being put into liaising with council, landholders and various government departments.
We have made representations on behalf of the community for increased funding, for upgrades to the cemetery (including a wall for ashes), upgrades to the public toilet in Clarence Pirie Memorial Park, as well as increased signage for visitors to our area. We also participated in Clean Up Australia Day and we continue to lobby for Pearsons Lookout.

To date we have been successful in;

•  The moving forward of a planned upgrade to the public toilet in Clarence Pirie Memorial Park- although we will continue to lobby for a second toilet.
• New tourism signage (soon to be placed in Clarence Pirie Memorial Park)
• Maintenance and upgrade of Capertee cemetery.
• Helping get the proposed Land Use Strategy thrown out of Lithgow City Council.
• Keeping Capertee beautiful with Clean up Australia Day and the continued maintenance of the beautiful gardens around the fire shed and Memorial Hall.
• Successful monthly markets

All of these things have been achieved by only a few people!

 If Capertee is to continue to go forward then we need more members!

The AGM for the Capertee and District Progress Association Inc will be held in February 2013 and we desperately need new members or this association will be forced to cease.

Capertee and District Progress Association would like to thank the tireless efforts by its members over the past year.
