Mission Statement
A community focused group of
volunteers serving others
Meeting 2731
Korners’ Park development plans
From the President
Remembering
The Rotary Club of Batemans Bay already
provides funding for a variety of smaller
local community activities and initiatives.
However, the Community Grants Scheme
has been introduced to identify significant
major projects in the Batemans Bay local
area for possible financial support.
We were very sad to see our Rotary Park on
Beach Road taken over by the marina
development. But the Board has been in
discussion on the location of a new park.
Warren kindly addressed our meeting on the plans
for the redevelopment of Korners’ Park on the
north side of the bridge and on how it is being
funded. This is the gateway to Batemans Bay and
the Council is very keen to have a very attractive
park area matching the pleasant environment on
the town’s foreshore.
We are hoping that we can be part of this plan and
have the park renamed to highlight Rotary. Warren
addressed what would be required for this to
happen.
The plans for Korners’ Park and Old Punt Reserve
will see a new pathway, retaining walls along the
river front, upgraded boat ramp, a new playground
and new covered seating and BBQ facilities. An
additional aspect could be a quiet area for
reflection and contemplation which Warren
highlighted as a possible project for us to adopt.
The Board will now look at this idea but I did gather
from the meeting that there was an acceptance of
this possible project and a definite desire for the
park to be known as Korners’ Rotary Park.
This would fit with our Rotary Trail idea which
would link places of interest or beauty, for visitors
to our area-Holmes Lookout, Korners’ Park,
Corrigans Reserve (especially the Disabled
recreational facilities), Observation Point and
Caseys Beach would create a great trail to follow.
This is a significant Rotary community project
to gradually work on over the next few years.
DOING OUR BIT!!!
COMMUNITY GRANTS
Applications close 1 May
Thank you to David Ashford for his work with the
Shire Council through Warren Sharpe (Director of
Infrastructure) over the location of a new Rotary
Park.
This weekend is very important
in the history of Australia and
New Zealand. Many tales of
what happened on the various
war fronts will be recalled but
what does stand out is the
number of lives lost for freedom.
Thank you to our representatives at
this year’s ANZAC Day service in
Batemans Bay.
Tomorrow the world will carry on
but I hope that by the size of the
crowds at the various services,
at home and abroad, that
some of the lessons from the
tales told will be remembered.
I hope that people will be
positive in their service towards
their fellow man and the
creation of a more accepting
and peaceful world will result.
Let us continue to Light Up
Rotary with service before self
as often as possible.

REMINDER
Under this scheme organisations or groups
are able to apply for significant funding to
develop community infrastructure,
implement community service programs or
purchase major items of equipment that are
of direct benefit to the local Batemans Bay
community.
As a guide, suitable projects under this
scheme would seek funding from $2000 to
$25000 and would involve funding from a
variety of other sources in addition to
Rotary Club funding.
Please remind groups in the community that
applications close on 1 May.
