2012 AGM meeting & new SBCRA Committee

The SBCRA AGM was held on 18 October and members were treated to a moving video and slide show of the Batten Reserve presented by Danielle Akayan.

The photography of the Batten Reserve and its stunning flora and fauna by Matthew Syres is amazing and reinforced the unique beauty of this special bushland area.

The complete collection of Matthew’s Batten Reserve photograph, including the Batten Reserve collection,  can be found on his website   http://matthewsyres.photoshelter.com/gallery-collection/Stock-Photography/C0000SwqH_PGkosg

Much of this focussed on issues arising from the Mowbray Precinct, but also included other comunity work that the SBCRA is involved in including twice monthly bush generation in the Batten Reserve, addressing traffic and safety issues with Council, engaging with the NSW Government’s Planning Review and organising community events such as Clean Up Australia Day.
