What a wonderful AGM was had on Saturday, with a fantastic turnout of 28 local residents!! Thank you to everyone who made the effort to attend and to the 2024/25 Committee for putting together a fantastic event.



We'd like to thank Liam Staltari MLA, Yates Australia and Dawson's Garden World for donating wonderful products and vouchers for the door prizes.



Thank you to Dean and his beautiful black cockatoos from Carnaby’s Crusaders, for attending the event and presenting such critical information and inspiring us all to be more environmentally aware.



Jedda, the stunning forest red tailed black cockatoo, was the star of the show. Flying around the room, displaying her amazing red tail markings, and taking a special liking to our Chair Dave and the prize table.



Dean's presentation was followed by an informal Q and A, cuddles with the black cockatoos, a delicious afternoon tea and a great time connecting with one another.



We'd like to thank the outgoing 2024/25 Committee, for all the hard work that they have put into the Charity over the year.


If you missed the event and would like to see our 2024/25 PCG recap video, you can view it on this link https://youtu.be/UbAdJ9OYiFM. It's so unbelievable to see how much PCG has accomplished in the past year.
