Background
The Benowa Waters Facebook Group was established on 21 March 2020 to unite residents during the Covid-19 crisis and, more importantly, as a general forum for our community members to get to know each other.
With a platform made available for easy communication among residents, it quickly became apparent that there has been an increase in robberies and break-ins within our immediate area and that urgent action was needed. Many great ideas and suggestions were actively discussed on this forum.
In September 2020, Gold Coast Patrol Dogs K9, under the leadership of Wayne Heneker, was brought in to patrol the area based on a commitment of funding from the community. An associated organisation was registered, and a committee was formed to manage this association.
People
As with any organisation, there are people behind the scenes who run everything. As of July 2022, there is currently no official committee and only an interim administration role. We seek to find community members willing to put their hands up to lead this initiative, fundraise and make decisions on behalf of the community.
