Come along to a small activity or conversation
The schedule for all our planned activities is out now! Check out the programme above to find something that works for you. There is something for all ages and hopefully all interests. These are informal and interactive. Drop by to meet the team and start a conversation.
This is a two-way process — we’re listening, and we’re also feeding back what we’re hearing from others.
Who’s involved?
This work is being supported by the Rodney Community Team, a group focused on strengthening local connections and supporting community-led ideas.
Our role isn’t to decide what should happen — it’s to:
- create spaces for conversations
- help make sense of what’s being said
- support ideas to take shape
Then – Community Hui (sharing what we’ve heard)
May 26 2026
Once those conversations have happened, we’ll bring it all together and share it back with the community.
This won’t be a presentation — it’ll be interactive.
It’s a chance to:
- see what’s been said across Snells Beach
- add your voice
- build on ideas together
Then – Backing community ideas
June 11 2026
From there, we’ll support ideas to take shape and bring them back to the community.
There’ll be a pot of funding to support projects that come from this process — and the community will be part of deciding where that goes.
Why this approach?
We know there are lots of views in Snells Beach — and not all of them line up.
Rather than trying to solve one issue at a time, this is about:
- creating space for people to hear each other again
- understanding what’s going on underneath the surface
- backing small, practical ideas that people actually care about
