The Forster Keys Ratepayers and Progress Association
had its inaugural meeting on 15 July 1978. It was
formed by an enthusiastic group of residents with the clear objective of
ensuring continuing improvements the Forster Keys subdivision whilst
maintaining the natural beauty of this part of Forster.
Membership is open to all property owners and residents
of the Keys and it is indicative of the success that it has enjoyed over
the years that it has maintained a very high rate of membership.
The Association supports a very willing group of
volunteers known as Dad’s Army who have accepted the responsibility
for improving and maintaining all of the parks and reserves within the
subdivision. Also Dad’s Navy which regularly tests the water
quality in the canals and clears them of any floating debris. Both of
these groups work tirelessly each week and over the years have saved the
Great Lakes Council enormous amounts of money and ensured that Forster Keys
is presented to the highest possible standard.
Forster Keys has won a number of Tidy Town Awards and
until recently hosted the swim leg of the Ironman Triathlon. Last
year it held the first Family Fun Day and the success of this event appears
to have secured its continuation as an important fund raiser for the
Association and the Rotary Club of Forster on Wallis.
