This year’s AGM will present the 2024-25 Annual Report, highlighting:

• The continued growth of the Homes for Health initiative, mobilising the community to support healthcare workers with secure and affordable housing.
• The incorporation and progress of the Waterfall Way Community Land Trust Ltd, following years of local consultation and governance design.
• The launch of the Rural Housing Alliance, connecting rural and regional communities working on community-led housing solutions.
• HMAG’s strengthened partnerships with the Siddle Family Foundation, Tripple, FRRR, and StreetSmart, whose support continues to expand our impact.
• Our ongoing commitment to community learning, including the Housing System Learning Circle and workshops designed to build knowledge and local capacity.
• HMAG’s financial performance and stewardship, including an improved surplus position and strengthened governance systems.

Looking Ahead

The AGM also offers an opportunity to discuss the work now underway through the Next Horizon Initiative – a long-term planning process guiding HMAG’s strategy, sustainability, and community impact for the coming decade. This work is grounded in local data and community consultation and focuses on ensuring HMAG is equipped to continue leading innovative, community-led housing solutions across the Bellingen Shire.
