Interested to get involved?
First, review the recent comments in your local branch page (if it exists) to see what is happening. If no local branch page exists below, make a 'comment' below on this page and ask for one to be created (noting your LGA area).
The main purpose of branches is to create public-facing events, such as stalls at local community markets and festivals, and contest elections. On an existing page, you can create an event via the relevant branch page 'comments' section.

A local branch page for Byron Shire LGA has now been set up (branches are set up by LGA, not federal electorate). Please ‘follow reactions’ on the Byron page and let us know there if you would like to hold a local branch meeting or event.

Hello SAP’s…
I am a long-term member of SAP. I live in Byron Shire and we currently have a Greens dominated Council that is acting more like the National Party and they have upset a lot of people around here (especially me who helped them get elected last election).
As COVID-19 has caused the Local Elections to be put back a year, there is now time (just!) for SAP to find candidates and mount a campaign. I have run ‘winning’ campaigns here several times and am willing to help get a Byron Shire branch up and running and also help with a campaign.
This will also be a profile builder for the SAP brand for future Federal and State elections.
Anyone out there who is interested and motivated should get in touch asap.
Cheers.

A permanent venue, for a SAP branch on the central coast, a large area now, because of the amalgamation of Gosford and Wyong councils. So maybe two venues would be needed, one being Gosford or close surrounds. Another one closer to Wyong. Having a permanent venue, means you can also put an ad in the local papers, Directory -Not for profit Community Organisations section, like the Greens -Labour party and Liberals do.
Hi Michael,
