SWANBANK COMMUNITY REFERENCE GROUP
In 2024, we established the Swanbank Community Reference Group (CRG) to provide ongoing input into our activities at Swanbank and advise on community priorities as the precinct develops. The group meets quarterly and includes 14 members of the Ipswich community, along with two families who live closest to the site.
The CRG operates under Terms of Reference which outlines the group’s objectives, composition, eligibility criteria, governance and membership term. Read the Terms of Reference.
Our CRG helps us test ideas, review information materials and track progress on community projects. Expressions of interest for future membership are welcome via community@cleancoqld.com.au
