    50 Years ago the first members of Nmbngee met on a block of land to discuss starting their own community. Today old and new members came together to revisit the tradition of the AGM group photo.

    Nmbngee AGM some time in the 1980’s.

    Another Nmbngee group photo which may or may not be an AGM photo. To be honest we didn’t need an excuse for a groupie (like a selfie but for a group)

    This one was one of our more interesting AGM’s. Just joking, it was for a Mainhouse Fancy Dress party!

    Kids in the 80’s playing at the Mainhouse. This is the front of the house where the photo was taken today, this shows the concrete steps that used to exist there.

    Last Sunday Nmbngee held a community work day. A solid crew turned up to get stuck into the Privet and Lantana along the creek bed winding back from the Western side of the front creek crossing. A lot was achieved and people were keen to make this a regular thing.

  • 2020 AGM Postponement

    Hoping everyone and your loved one’s are well and staying safe from Covid-19!

    AGM Postponement: This year the Office of Fair Trading has informed cooperatives that postponement of AGM’s this year due to Covid-19 is allowed, and that it is not necessary to seek official approval. So the board has elected to postpone this year’s AGM until next year. The board agreed to this measure due to the concerns that broad based participation in an AGM would not be possible even given social distancing measures.

    Director positions will carry over until the AGM 2021, however anyone with concerns about the current positions or who would like to stand for or vote on Director positions before the AGM next year should contact the Board with your concerns.

    You have been emailed or posted (depending on your previous preference for receiving correspondence) your ASF and Levy status current as of the 11th June 2020. Please check your email and junk mail folder if you haven’t received those emails yet. No member is facing 2 year inactive status at this time.

    I have prepared a mid year report and have posted both the mid year report and the End of Year 2019 report in the meeting section of this website.



  • Alert: Fires In Area!

    November 10, 2019 Author: Max

    Dear fellow Nmbngians

    As many of you are no doubt aware, there is a serious fire burning atop the Nightcap Ranges. Smoke is filling the Nimbin Valley and residents of Tuntable and Terania valleys are being urged to evacuate.

    Tuntable and Terania Residents without alternative places to stay can camp for free at Nimbin Showgrounds (for Tuntable residents) and the Channon (for Terania Creek residents).

    At this point Nmbngee is not in the firing line, but we must be vigilant for fires in the area and keep on the guard. There may also be the danger of airborne cinders from the Nightcap fires, especially if the fires spread to the Newton Road ridge.

    Contact Ross, Chris or Bob if you see any fires on or near Nmbngee. These three are the designated First Responders for the Nmbngee community and will contact anyone else who needs to be contacted.

    There is an emergency meeting in Nimbin Town Hall today at 4pm for those interested in offering assistance or being better informed.
