    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.

  • Facebook and Whatsapp are Offline Worldwide

    Dear Nmbngeeians

    Whatsapp (and Facebook/Instagram) are suffering a world wide outage at the moment, so if you rely on the whatsapp Gabal Road group (or for communicating with other groups/friends) you will need to resort to text messaging for the time being (or other apps, Signal for example)

    Facebook made a boo boo, or to the more conspiracy minded, the finger might be pointed at “bad actors”, or maybe a large anti-western Asian country? (Though in this case, the likely cause is just a mistaken BGP update). But the end result is that Facebook, and by extension whatsapp and Instagram, or offline, worldwide.

  • 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!

    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.

    Nmbngee checking out potential new members

    Forest has tenants in his place currently who wish to purchase his house and a share. They have started their six month stint and will be close to 6 months by the time of the AGM, so will possibly be on the agenda for share transfers at next yeas AGM.

    Their names are Matt and Lisa. They will hopefully be in attendance at the community dinner on the 8th, and this would be a great opportunity to meet them and get to know them (and them us).

    As per the decision at a recent General Meeting, the board will in future send out agendas and other communications to your email address rather than by post. The purpose of this change is to reduce postage costs and to enable the board to communicate with members more effectively.

    Important – You can Opt Out if you do not wish to receive meeting notices via email:
    If you wish to continue receiving agenda mailouts via post rather than email, please let the board know, otherwise future meeting notices will go to your email address.

    Note: If we do not have your email address, you will continue to receive correspondence via post.

    We have recently posted each member a letter explaining this and checking with you that the email address we have for you is correct.

    Access Agenda Via Website:
    In future Agenda’s will also be posted on the website within the required notice period.  All members who have a website account are able to access the agenda on the website by logging in and going to the member’s library section. If you would like instructions on how to access the website, or if you currently don’t have a website account but would like one, please get in touch with us by emailing info@nmbngee.org (or call Max).
