Celebrating 30 years of Bushcare and Combined Annual General Meetings of Melon Hill Bushland Group and Swanbourne Coastal Alliance
Saturday 21st November 2026
The combined Annual General Meetings of the Melon Hill Bushland Group and Swanbourne Coastal Alliance will be held at Mattie Furphy House, Clare Copse, in the Allen Park Heritage Precinct, Swanbourne on Saturday 21st November, from 3-5pm. This is a Special AGM as we are celebrating 30 years of continuous care for the Allen Park bushland and Swanbourne coastal reserve. MHBG has worked in partnership with the City of Nedlands to restore and care for this important natural asset. What was once degraded bushland now demonstrates the extraordinary difference that sustained community action can make. An exhibition of photographs and memorabilia collected over the past 3 decades will be held in the adjacent Tom Fricker Cottage. Doors open at 3pm. There will be a special address and toast to commemorate 30 years of regeneration of our bushland, followed by the combined AGMs. If you’ve not visited Allen Park before, it is far more than meets the eye. Despite its relatively small size, this regionally significant A-Class Reserve combines outstanding biodiversity, a bush-forever site, rich heritage, community spaces and wonderful scenery into a unique and accessible destination.
