Nomination for Board Vacancy (455 KB)

The Roxby Downs Community Board was established in 2005 and subsequently incorporated as a non profit association on 29 December 2006. The Board has 9 subcommittees (called Forums and Partnerships) where members of the community can focus on particular areas of interest.

A community board member sits on each forum or partnership creating a two way communication link with the Community Board.

The Board's vision is that Roxby Downs is:

“a young and vibrant town with a caring, tolerant, diverse community that aims for strong interdependent business and social partnerships to provide a safe, healthy and financially secure lifestyle”.

The purpose of the Association is to promote the interests of the community by:

• acting as the peak community body in Roxby Downs to work towards achieving the community's vision by overseeing the implementation of the Roxby Downs Community Plan
• acting as the overseeing body of the forums and partnerships which are subcommittees of the Community Board
• liaising with government authorities, private sector businesses and members of the community in order to share and exchange information
• liaising with local media for the purpose of communicating the progress and promotion of the Community Plan.

In 2002 the Roxby Downs Council instigated and supported the formation of a Community Board with the expressed purpose of forming an ever evolving community plan. The plan was released in April 2005.
