JINDABYNE COMMUNITY GROUPS PRESENT AGED CARE PLAN

The Jindabyne Community Development Association (JCDA) and the Jindabyne Action Group (JAG) held two meetings last week where local residents gathered at the Jindabyne Bowling and Sports Club.
Aged care has been a topic of conversation throughout the region for many years and residents believe it is time to do something about getting an aged care facility in Jindabyne instead of the elderly having to leave town.
Olivier Kapetanakos, Vice President of the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce, lead the presentation which discussed in great detail the need for the community to get behind local initiatives with an Expression of Interest (EOI) for Snowy Hydro land. Support can be demonstrated by joining the JCDA.
The critical aspect of this EOI is asking for a gift to be made of the land to a not-for-profit foundation that will come to signify a legacy for Snowy Hydro.
This proposal is based on the community desire for self-determination by having a not-for-profit foundation that will be geared to operate an enduring and perpetual legacy, reinvesting funding into the community.
