Nominations for SIRA Committee

Please consider nominating to become a member or an office bearer of the SIRA Committee. Your contribution will make a real difference. SIRA coordinates or oversees some of the essential services on the island, such as the emergency water supply, the management of the Community Hall and the Community Vehicle. Without input from community members, these services could not be offered.

Job descriptions for office bearers can be found in this Discussion Paper. If you would like to talk to a current committee member about what is involved, please email one of us. We are all very approachable and welcome inquiries.
