The MERRA committee meets bi-monthly and the business of the group broadly is to be community advocates for our region, promote a sense of community and enhance the beauty of the peninsular. This they do by;

• Promoting the rich history of the region
• Seeking to make the peninsular predator and weed-pest free
• Promoting good community relations by
  • Staging and supporting events such as the annual barbecue
  • Setting up and maintaining neighbour watch and support systems and information
  • Providing civil defence and community response capabilities
  • Identifying and completing community projects such as the Little Library, Scotts Landing sign, produce, bus shelter, seating, stairs to the historic cemetery
  • Staging and promoting community education programmes such as defibrillator use, CPR course
• Maintaining good relations with key groups such as council and other ratepayer associations for the benefit of the community
• Identifying key projects to support, such as the “waste by rail” project.
