Australia Day-Friday January 26th
The Annual Australian Day celebration will be held at both Koshigaya Park and Hallinan
Park Ingleburn. This event will include various activities suitable for the family and free
entertainment. Around 4pm there will be stalls and rides available at Koshigaya Park all
night for the family to enjoy!
Hi All! Welcome back to a New Year and we hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable
holiday. As many of you may know SWRTA has been running for over 30 years and has
persistently adjusted to changes every year. Although our office has been fairly busy our
hard work would not have been possible without the guidance and support of the board
members and volunteers with printing, answering calls, creating documents, pamphlets,
business cards and posters to name a few. The SWRTA community resource worker has
helped many tenants with enquiries in Social Housing. SWRTA is organising ‘Opshop2u’,
which is a stall seeking donation to assist with SWRTA social activities. Look out for
announcements as we plan on setting up our stall in different locations so it’s accessible for
all tenants.
