QCA
Quinninup Community Association
Label Text
The QCA helps to...
- promote and protect the interests of the Quinninup Community.
- promote and protect the environment in our region.
- encourage social interaction and relationships between members and businesses of the Quinninup Community.
COMMUNITY
The QCA was incorporated in 1989.
The original task was to prevent logging in the areas near the township off Wheatley Coast Road, to this end numerous submissions were presented and in 1992 Nature Walk Trails were established and in 1994 our Eco Tourism module was put in place.
A 9 year moratorium was given on future logging, which, as good fortune would have it, brought it right up to the time that the area was declared a National Park.
SERVICE
Most of the facilities’ in the township were initiated by the QCA.
Services made available to the community such as the library, various sporting facilities including the tennis courts and the gym, community computers and the leasing of old school from the Shire for our community centre.
The QCA was also instrumental in arranging government and corporate services for the community; fire-fighting equipment, TransWA bus service, postal services and mobile telephone and internet services for the town.
How can I help....
All the great things that happen in Quinninup are mostly the result of a few hard working volunteer committee members of the QCA.
Some of these committee members have held positions for many, many years!!
However, some wish to hand over the reigns of their committee positions to a new nominee.
We really do need to have someone already shadowing the work involved in these roles so that the hand over is an easy process.
Let us know if you wish to nominate as soon as possible please!

The fair is the town's major annual event with proceeds from the day funding much of the amenities that we all use and enjoy.
Along with many volunteers the Fair Co-ordinator ensures a great day is held for the town.
The Grants Co-ordinator liaises with various government and non-government bodies such as LotteryWest and submits applications for grants.
