Our story — Sandy Point, Victoria

The Sandy Point Community Group, through community engagement, advocates on behalf of the community and is committed to preserving our unique natural environment.

SPCG was founded in 1986. Over the years, we have responded to key Council initiatives, and advocated for relevant community issues, such as improved phone and internet connections, better toilet facilities, traffic calming measures, caravan park issues, bore set back issues and responding to members’ requests to address identified hazard areas. This coming year we will advocate for the development of a Town Centre Plan by the Shire which might include commercial centre revitalisation, environmental initiatives, tourism initiatives etc. The Waratah Way Shared Trail and the installation of a skate park are still priority projects and toilets at Ned Neale’s are one of several on the wish list.

SPCG also conducts community strengthening events, such as the Sandcastle Competitions that are held on the surf beach each year, generally one at Easter and one during the Christmas holidays (usually between Christmas and New Year). Each year in early January we also hold our popular Foodies and Artisans Market, which showcases a range of local food, drinks and artisan products.
