STOPPING THE RESIDENTIAL ABUSE
THE Australian Resident Accommodation Managers Association (ARAMA) has launched a campaign to address rising abuse within residential complexes. CEO Trevor Rawnsley said incidents of intimidation, verbal tirades, and even physical assaults are escalating in strata communities, affecting residents, committees, and managers. The campaign aims to create psychologically safe communities through education, policies, and a statement of intent promoting respect at meetings. Many managers support the initiative, noting abuse comes from a minority but change is overdue.

UMINA SCHOOL LOCATION CONFIRMED
THE final location for Umina Beach Public Preschool has been confirmed following strong community feedback. Originally proposed in April 2025, concerns about lost playspace led to Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch MP advocating for an alternative. The preschool will now be housed in an existing building (Building A), minimising impact on play areas, requiring no extra parking, and ensuring no disruption to current students. Backed by the NSW Government’s $769M investment to build 100 preschools, Umina’s facility will deliver vital free places from Term 1, 2027.
