The Heights Care community and friends
Situated east of Wallaga Lake road and about 1 kM south of the bridge, Wallaga Lake Heights has about seventy dwellings. More than 60% of them subscribe to the Heights Care newsletter.
Heights Care has a wide and active following of like-minded individuals and organisations amongst our neighbours in Beauty Point, Fairhaven and Akolele. We also have strong connections with dozens of individuals and organisations that provide valuable support and encouragement, including:
Bega Valley Shire Council, which has awarded the group environmental grants each year since 2020/21. Their Environmental, Parks and Recreation and Biosecurity teams also provide support.
Far South Coast Landcare Association provides valuable advice on every aspect of local flora and fauna, support with grant applications and materials such as plant guards and stakes.
Other valuable contacts include the Rural Fire Brigade, the Crossing, Mooji Farm and Birdlife Australia.
A small steering group leads activities caring for the people and the environment of Wallaga Lake Heights.
The history of HeightsCare is documented in the newsletters that have appeared intermittently, usually when there was something to report. Since Newsletter Number 1, headed ‘Residents’ Bushfire Planning’ and dated 20 February 2020, around eight have been published each year.
All old the newsletters are on the web site.
