TOWNSHIP
MASTER PLAN
UPDATE
The consolidated community
feedback on the Township Master
Plans has led to two grant applications
being submitted in the last three
months: one for enhancement of
walking trails behind Currie Harbour,
and one for improved pedestrian
safety on the Currie Main Street.
Both applications have progressed to
the second stage in their respective
programs, and we have high hopes of
success, particularly with the
pedestrian safety project. A final
RECREATION PLAN
decision on both grants should be
received by mid-December.

the Naracoopa Progress Association

KING ISLAND
RACING CLUB
2018/19 RACE
CALENDAR
In a recent visit to the King Island
Racing Club, the new Minister for
racing Hon Sarah Courtney, told
President, Audrey Hamer that "it was
the best country race course she has
been to".
This is no small feat for a small country
club, let alone one on an Island in the
middle of the Bass Strait. Heading into
its 126th year of continuous racing it is
testament to the hard working
committee and volunteers.
King Island Council is proud to support
this integral part of the community, as
owner of the facility.
Please contact Audrey Hamer for a
copy of the Open Track Schedule for
2018/19 on 0429 621 575.

VIRGINIA WOOLF'S
TO THE LIGHTHOUSE
Based on Virginia Woolf’s famous novel set on the Isle of Skye, To the
Lighthouse is a spoken word performance with music that will premiere on King
Island in December.
Woolf’s brilliant reflection on the dynamic between the sexes, love, art and
mortality uniquely captures the way humans depend on each other.
In a world destined to change, as it was when Woolf wrote her Modernist classic,
art is, perhaps, the only hope of surety. As Lily mourns while painting; “Nothing
stays, all changes; but not words, not paint”.
