Fingal Head Projects

The Fingal Head Community Planning Team 2025

The 2024 Fingal Head Community Survey identified several projects that support the preservation of the unique character of Fingal Head. These projects have been organised to align with the six values strongly recognised by the community in both the 2019 and 2024 Fingal Head Community Surveys.

It is proposed to form Community Initiative Groups (CIGs) to focus on and implement these projects. If you are interested in any aspect of any of these projects, please consider joining one or more of these CIGs and expressing your interest by emailing  fingalheadcpt@gmail.com or attending the FHCA General Meeting on November 19. The main agenda item for the meeting will be the formation of the Community Interest Groups (CIGS) to implement the various projects and all members of the community are welcome to attend.

This is your opportunity to contribute to your community and help ‘Keep Fingal Special.’
