Council has responded positively to our request to relocate the Memorial Tree from Hunter Park to a more suitable location in Avoca.

Pickleball, a rapidly growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis, has been gaining popularity all over the world. In Australia participation has overtaken that of rugby union, baseball and billiards and the Australian Open tennis championships included a Pickleball slam for the first time in 2025.

Notification of consultation – Proposed Parking Improvements on Avoca Drive, Avoca Beach

Have your say - Council is seeking feedback on changes to parking restrictions along Avoca Drive, Avoca Beach.

Our eclectic Avoca Beach community continues to amaze with its abundance of unique and talented people. Yantra de Vilder is a prime example.  A composer, artist, performer and filmmaker, she always seems to have at least one impressive project on the go. It was a great pleasure to sit down with her recently and have a chat to learn more about this musical maestro.

Council presented the plans for the proposed Shared Pathway along Avoca Drive to more than 70 locals at an ABCA general meeting ahead of the consultation period later this year. A lively discussion ensued.

It is a major event for Avocans that our much loved and deeply respected President, Steve Fortey OAM, has found it necessary to resign from that role in the Avoca Beach Community Association.

Towards the end of 2024, Avoca Beach Surf Lifesaving Club Life Member Mike Tamblyn and his wife Carol had the pleasure of christening the club’s new Surf Boat in his name.
