The River Bruns.
Community Groups
Brunswick Heads has quite a large number of community groups, covering all facets of village life. A few of these are incorporated and fulfil the meeting and reporting requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act. Some groups are not incorporated but meet on a regular basis. Some function independently, but are under the auspices of either the Chamber of Commerce or the Progress Association. Many of the groups listed operate on an informal basis, with meetings called as required.
The Community Representatives Forum was set up in 2004, for the purpose of bringing one representative of each of the town’s community groups to discuss issues of importance to the town as a whole.
