A Paradise in the Hills of Northern NSW
To assist with preparedness for the upcoming SGM, which has been called in order to seek member input into adjusting the yearly budget as decided at the last AGM, I have uploaded the current budget status and financial report.

Also available in the library meetings section. General Meetings
The Board invites all Community members to a short SGM to discuss the reallocation of budget funds from other areas to road and fire trail maintenance. Right now, our road access is a priority and the Board would like to transfer money assigned to less urgent items into our road budget.
Since no items have been submitted to the Board since the AGM, the agenda will include only this one agenda item. The board is not wanting to make this an onerous meeting, and there will be an SGM possibly before the next AGM to vote on Matthew’s share transfer, if members have other items they wish to discuss submit them now and they will be included on the next available general meeting agenda after this one.
This is an expediated general meeting to facilitate road works prior to a predicted wet season. The board have considered rule 57(a) Subject to Rule 58, at least 14 days notice and rule 57(c) Any member who has a resolution to submit to a general meeting must give written notice of the terms of the resolution to the co-operative not less than 28 days prior to the date of the meeting.
Roadwork affects all of us. Come along and contribute to the decision-making process.
This post serves as notice for an SGM. ASF notice and current budget status will follow shortly.

Detail: Several budget items have not been actioned to any significant degree this year and the money might better be spent on roads with those items being put off until next year. The board would like to reallocate the budget items but requires member input into whether this should be done or not.

Hi all,
Regrettably there has been a series of thefts recently in the community, and I am posting this to let everyone know in particular those who are not active on the Nmbngee Facebook or Whatsapp groups (please email or call Max or a board member if you wish to be added to those)
This started a couple of months ago and settles down once discoveries are made but then starts again once the kerfuffle dies down.
Feel free to contact a board member for more details as we discuss what to do about this. Complicating factors are that the offenders in most cases have proven to be certain children resident on the community. I don’t want to get into more details than that on this public a forum. What I want to do is just make sure all members are aware that thefts are ongoing and to take measures to secure your homes and valuables.
I will post more later after more in person discussions.

It has been raised with the board that there has been a number of thefts and trespassing into shareholders private residences on Nmbngee in the past weeks and months. Typically, the items reported as being stolen are of value. While the board cannot resolve these issues directly, it is helpful to notify us so we can keep the community informed.
Theft can happen anywhere, but staying informed and taking precautions can help keep all community members safe. There are a few basic things you can consider doing to protect yourself and your property.
By working together, Nmbngee can deter crime and foster a safer environment for everyone. Stay safe and stay connected!
Hi All,
At the 2024 AGM, we approved the setup of an Emergency Preparedness Initiative on Nmbngee. This included the purchase of various equipment as well as the establishment of a crew of first responders on the community – in total 4 individuals.
What We Need
Matthew has volunteered to head this initiative as the Crew Lead. We require three additional community members to volunteer to join the crew. Ideally, we have members that are from various areas across the community. Please note, if you intend to spend a good deal of time away from Nmbngee over the course of the year, you will not be a good candidate for the crew.
What’s Required
– Crew membership is an annual commitment (to ensure we are leveraging the investment in first aid/CPR training).
– Crew members will receive first aid/CPR training (these courses can be done online or in-person at a time that suites) as well as an introduction to handheld CB Radios.
– Crew members will be issued with a first aid kit, snake bite kit as well as a handheld CB Radio for use in emergencies – these are to be kept in a safe, secure space that is easily accessible.
– Crew members will be identified to the community as someone that can be reached in the event of an emergency.
How to Volunteer
