New Committee for Anglesea Art House
AHOY THERE! By Robyn Lucas, Surf Coast Shire
As keen cabin crew, we wanted to give you a brief update on the status of the playground project at Coogoorah Park. Firstly, thank you to all community members for providing such passionate and informative suggestions for the playground space and equipment. So many treasured memories associated with the space and good times in the park. Imaginative play is an element we would like to maintain.
The new committee at Anglesea Art House.
The Anglesea Art House AGM was finally held in February, with the reelection of President Jennifer O’Sullivan.
from 10am – 2pm to support members. Locals and visitors can take a look in the gallery, which has art, craft and cards for sale.
With 24 members attending and special guest, Councillor Mike Bodsworth, it was an enjoyable afternoon .
Pop in and say hello, and check out your talented local artists and their work.
The new committee is looking forward to getting on with their job that encompasses 200+ members.
Plans are currently underway for the Annual Art Show, with a view to holding it over the long weekend in June. This is something for all members to focus on. As with so many things, it was disappointing not to have had the Show in 2020.
The Art House offers tutored classes in watercolour, oil/acrylic, drawing and pottery, as well as group sessions for printmaking, glass fusing, mosaic, textiles, pottery and painting. We now have an online booking system at www.angleseaarthouse.com.au for classes and membership. The Art House is open each Saturday
The community connectedness is something that the Art House is very proud of and we welcome new members. Further enquiries info@angleseaarthouse.com.au

Outside of the survey, we have collected views from the Facebook posts, the six listening posts in the park, and direct submissions from both children and adults. It was great to hear from so many age groups and there was a lot of common themes. Taking on all the collective views, the following themes are being considered for the space: Nautical theme A flying fox Educational interpretative signage about the Aboriginal history of the location and the history of the Inverlochy shipwreck Natural materials as much as possible Accessible areas and accessible equipment Council officers are considering the information provided and the best way forward for the Asset Renewal Project at Coogoorah Park Playground, and we will keep you all informed of the next steps.
