The Northcote Residents Association Incorporated:
Our role:
We act on behalf of our stakeholders in protecting our quality of life and developing the Natural, Historical, Infrastructural and Community assets in our area.
Our Stakeholders:
- Residents and Ratepayers
- Local businesses who provide products and services to members of the local community
- Community and sporting groups and clubs in the area
- Visitors to the area who use the community facilities
- Other community groups who represent the interests of the area
- We interact with the residents, agencies, local government and other, as a lobby group on behalf of our community
- We organise public meetings to inform residents on topical issues
- We directly disseminate information to keep the community informed and maintain a web sitewhich is accessible to all stakeholders
- We seek ideas, feedback and support from the local community
- Where it is deemed necessary, we take affirmative action on specific issues that affect the community as a whole
- We will also take action on issues that affect individuals which may set an undesirable precedent for the community in the future
The Association gives particular priority to the following key categories – but will also consider other non-related issues on a case-by-case basis if they have the potential to impact upon our stakeholders and community at large:
- Impact on the natural heritage of the area
- Impact on historical aspects of the area
- Impact on delivery of essential services and infrastructure
- Impact on quality of life and lifestyle in the area
- Demonstrable public safety issues
While a consultative approach is preferred, the association will take incrementally stronger steps where any proposal is significant and requires stronger action.
