Pittwater Natural Heritage Association AGM 2026

All members welcome - bring a friend!

About PNHA

With urbanisation, there are continuing pressures that threaten the beautiful natural environment of Pittwater. Some impacts are immediate and apparent, others are more gradual and less obvious.

The Pittwater Natural Heritage Association has been formed to act to protect and preserve the Pittwater areas major and most valuable asset - its natural heritage.

PNHA is an incorporated association seeking broad based community membership and support to enable it to have an effective and authoritative voice speaking out for the preservation of Pittwater's natural heritage.

Our Aims

  • To raise public awareness of the conservation value of the natural heritage of the Pittwater area: its landforms, watercourses, soils and local native vegetation and fauna.
  • To raise public awareness of the threats to the long-term sustainability of Pittwater's natural heritage.
  • To foster individual and community responsibility for caring for this natural heritage.
  • To encourage the Council and the NSW Government to adopt and implement policies and works which will conserve, sustain and enhance the natural heritage of Pittwater.

Some of our interests and concerns include:

  • Native Tree Canopy
  • "Wildlife Friendly" Gardens
  • Weed Infestation
  • Keeping our Waterways Healthy
  • Beaches and Dunes

Lighthouse Leadership: The Adults Young People Remember

  • Hosted by Bilgola Beach Surf Lifesaving Club
  • Where: Bilgola Beach SLSC
  • When: Wednesday, October 21 -  7 PM - 8 PM
  • Cost: Free
  • Reserve a spot here
Overview
An evening exploring how trusted adults can make a lasting difference in the lives of young people — in surf clubs and across our community.

Can’t make it to Bilgola? Join us live online.
While the evening will be hosted in person at Bilgola SLSC, online attendance will also be available for participants anywhere in Australia and beyond. Simply select the online attendance option when registering.

Speakers: 
  • Tania Fahey - Program Counsellor for Raise Foundation
  • Chantal Harrison - Co-Founder of Northern Beaches Youth Theatre, Raise Foundation Mentor, Hand in Hand Parenting Certified Instructor
  • Manny Freer - Deputy Chief Training Officer of Bilgola SLSC, Raise Foundation Mentor
This evening grew out of the article Why Surf Life Saving Needs More Lighthouses, which explores Maggie Dent's Lighthouse Model and the powerful role trusted, consistent adults can play in the lives of young people.

The article began with a Surf Life Saving lens; looking at the influence trainers, patrol captains, age managers, coaches and other club members can have on young people, often without realising the lasting impact they are making.

But Lighthouse leadership isn't limited to surf clubs.

This free community evening at Bilgola Surf Life Saving Club brings the conversation to life and opens it more broadly to anyone who leads, mentors, teaches, coaches, supports or works alongside young people.

We'll explore what it means to be a Lighthouse for a young person, why trusted adults matter during adolescence, and how ordinary interactions can create an impact that lasts far beyond the moment.

Read the article that inspired the evening:

What will you take away from the evening?

More than an understanding of the Lighthouse idea, the evening is designed to help you recognise the influence you may already have, understand what makes a trusted adult genuinely valuable in a young person's life, and leave with practical ways to make that influence more intentional... whether you're a trainer, coach, mentor, teacher, parent, volunteer or community leader.

Resources for attendees
With the generous support of Maggie Dent and her team, attendees will also receive a post-event resource pack with further Lighthouse reading, videos and podcasts, two complimentary Maggie Dent audio resources, and a 30% discount on her Lighthouse Model ebook.

Attend in person at Bilgola SLSC or join us live online.

Planned for 60 minutes with time for Q & A after

  • John Sear, Scientist and photographer: John will share his observations of the marine environment and use science and photography to help illustrate the changes seen within Cabbage Tree Bay over almost 25 years.

  • Lara Gribbin, Student andfilmmaker: Representing the next generation of ocean conservationists, Lara will explore how film and visual storytelling can educate, build awareness and inspire young people to use their voices for our oceans. 

This is a community conversation, and FoBBB want you there to reflect on past successes and help shape the future of Bongin Bongin Bay!

Pacific Sevens Rugby Tournament Coming to Warriewood: Nationwide Nadi Rugby Sevens

Pittwater will come alive with the spirit of Pacific rugby when the Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s arrives at Pittwater Rugby Park, Warriewood, on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 October 2026.

The two-day tournament will feature a major 32-team men’s Rugby Sevens competition alongside a women’s competition, bringing together players, officials, families, supporters and rugby fans for a weekend celebrating grassroots sport, Pacific culture and community.

The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s has been created with a vision that extends well beyond the playing field – to provide grassroots rugby players with an opportunity to showcase their talent, strengthen the connection between the Pacific and Australian rugby communities, and create an event where people from all backgrounds can come together through sport.

Tournament Director Nanise Kennedy said:
“For us, this tournament is about much more than rugby. Rugby is deeply connected to our Pacific culture, our families and our communities. It brings generations together and gives us an opportunity to celebrate who we are while sharing our culture with the wider Australian community.

Through the Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s, we want to create a place where everyone feels welcome—Pacific Islanders, Australians and people from all backgrounds. It is about grassroots players showcasing their talent, families coming together, and our younger generation seeing their culture represented proudly through sport.

We are extremely proud to bring this celebration of rugby, culture and community to Pittwater Rugby Park and Sydney.”

Rugby has long played an important role across Fiji and the wider Pacific, extending beyond competition to become a powerful expression of culture, community and connection. The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s will celebrate that relationship by bringing together rugby, Pacific hospitality, families and community in one major weekend.

“The Nationwide Nadi Rugby 7’s Association expresses its sincere gratitude to Nationwide Care Plus for believing in our vision and proudly sponsoring the $50,000 prize money for this tournament. Their generous support is more than a financial contribution — it is a vote of confidence in grassroots rugby, our Pacific community and the opportunities this tournament aims to create for players and families. We are deeply grateful to Nationwide Care Plus for standing with us and helping make this celebration of rugby, culture and community possible.” Ms Kennedy said

The event will also provide an opportunity to celebrate the strong contribution that Fijian and Pacific Island communities continue to make to rugby in Australia – from grassroots clubs through to the highest levels of the game.

With Pittwater Rugby Park providing the setting, organisers hope the tournament will establish a lasting connection between Pacific rugby and Sydney and grow into an event that players, families and supporters look forward to for years to come.

The Waiting Room: New Comedy by Mike Bullen runs in Mona Vale Performance space this October

The Waiting Room is a thoughtful comedy by Mike Bullen, the BAFTA award-winning writer of Cold Feet and North Shore. With laugh-out-loud black humour, it looks at life, death and the joy and pain of being part of a family.

70-year-old widower Frank is dying, surrounded by his nearest and dearest. Well, perhaps not dearest. His four adult offspring come from near and far to be at his bedside as he slips out of this life and into… whatever’s next. Frank is a silent witness as he lies in a coma at home, the house in which he and his wife raised their kids, and which will form the lion’s share of his estate when he dies. Will Frank’s death bring the siblings closer together, or could the terms of his will tear them apart?

NoBAD is an independent theatre company and Not For Profit group based in Pittwater. With a wealth of creative people in the community, our vision is to unite both experienced professionals and emerging artists to produce exciting and innovative theatre. The Waiting Room features a seasoned cast, with resumes spanning Hollywood movies, American and Australian TV, and the Australian stage.
  • Runs October 21-24 at Mona Vale Performance Space, Mona Vale Public School, Bungan St, Mona Vale
  • Tickets Here
The Waiting Room is written and directed by Avalon Beach resident Mike Bullen. Mike is best known as the writer of the TV series, Cold Feet, which ran for 9 series in the UK and for which he won a BAFTA award. Other TV shows he’s created include Life Begins and North Shore. The Waiting Room is his first play.

Julian Pulvermacher plays dying family patriarch, Frank Whitby. A veteran of stage and screen, Julian’s many credits include the movie, Superman Returns, TV shows such as Wolf Creek and Rake, and, on stage, Chekhov’s The Seagull.

Raelee Hill is Frank’s eldest child, Jan, who’s devoted the last decade (she would have you believe) to caring for her ailing parents. Raelee was a regular on Water Rats, Neighbours and Farscape. More recently she has appeared in the movies Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway and Long Road To Heaven.

Gillian Alexy plays Meg, who hurries home from LA to be at her dying father’s bedside. Gillian will be familiar to fans of McLeod’s Daughters, in which she played Tayler Geddes. She worked for many years in the US on TV shows including Damages, Outsiders, and NCIS: Los Angeles.

Chris Sadrinna is Frank’s brash older son Larry, whose business dealings are as messy as his love life. Chris appeared in 198 episodes of Home and Away as heartthrob Brad Armstrong. His other TV and film work includes X Men Origins: Wolverine, Underbelly, All Saints and Water Rats.


Just Announced 🔥 Red Hot Summer Tour will create history in 2026! For the first time in 40 years, AUSTRALIAN CRAWL will take to the stage, alongside the iconic Men at Work, joined by Birds of Tokyo, Vika & Linda, Eskimo Joe, Boom Crash Opera and Ella Hooper

The DragonForce 65 has undergone a major transformation to bring the quality and appearance up the high standard set by its bigger brother the DragonFlite 95, without affecting the competitiveness of previous versions. New tooling for the hull sees an increase in hull strength while retaining the same shape and weight. Key rig fittings, the Gooseneck, Compression Strut, Masthead Fitting and Jib Boom front end fittings have been redesigned for maximum efficiency and easier assembly. The new version 6 now comes with 50 micron Mylar film sails with a clean new style.

Surfing Mums & Dads

Want to join the best Mums (& Dads) group on earth? Surfing Mums Australia is a not for profit organisation with groups across Australia. We take turns surfing and looking after each other’s children. 

The Avalon group meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9.30am and the Palm Beach group meets on Thursdays. The Mona Vale group meets Wednesday 9am, Narrabeen on Wednesday at 9:30 am, Dee Why / Long Reef on Friday 9am, Freshwater on Monday at 9am and Manly on Wednesday at 9am. 

Our surf swap meet ups welcome parents of all levels, whether you’re a total novice or have been riding waves for a lifetime. Meet ups are run by member volunteer coordinators, and take place at a specific beach location at designated weekly times and days – although some groups switch locations depending on the best beach conditions on that given day. Coordinators post updates on each group’s private Facebook page prior to each meetup, so be sure to check for updates before you go. When you arrive, you’ll be paired up with a parent who will be your surf swap partner. Meet ups generally run for two hours, so there’s potential for each parent to have roughly an hour of ocean time, and an hour of child minding – although new parents may like to work up to this time goal slowly. Parents decide between themselves who’ll surf first, and who’s surfing second. The term surfing is open to interpretation here; you can surf, body board, SUP, go for a beach run or do some laps. However you’d like to spend your ocean time is up to you.

We welcome all levels of surfers, from shredders to absolute newbies, any anyone who cares for a little person is welcome to join.
