We are excited to announce that on community demand, the Fingal Valley Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc. is now a registered and therefore a legal community organization.

Membership is open to all residents of the Fingal Valley — Fingal, Rossarden, Mathinna, Mangana, Avoca, St. Mary’s, Upper Esk and all surrounding areas. The membership fee is $10.00 per annum.

The purpose of this association is to:

  • Inspire Fingal Valley community (including surrounding areas) connections — for example, by markets, art shows, showcasing local talent, and dances.
  • Enhance collective well-being (e.g., access to facilities, community garden/crop sharing).
  • Utilize and invigorate community spaces (e.g., railway station, old primary school, recreation ground, main street).
  • Support the work of other organisations including sharing information.

The Fingal Valley Residents and Ratepayers Association Inc. (FVRRA) commits to abiding by the Tasmanian Code of Conduct and upholding the values of the people which it represents.

Please contact us by email if you are interested in a role on the committee — a role where you can use your skills to benefit the community. You are invited to attend a meeting where you will have the opportunity to present your ideas, which will be decided upon to be pursued in 2026.
