Welcome to our Community Website
CROWK
is a community-based organisation whose mission is to support residents in their development of a socially vibrant, environmentally sustainable, local community, ensuring that community resources are protected and maintained as community assets.
Our Aim
The specific objectives of CROWK are to:
- Achieve a vibrant, healthy and participatory local community where economic, social and environmental goals are in harmony.
- Ensure a genuine and significant resident voice on all planning and community development issues that affect the wider sub region based on Kambah West.
- Establish an iconic precinct of environmental learning, ecologically sustainable practice and community well being.
- Support sub regional infrastructure developments which meet best practice community-ownership and environmentally sustainable standards
- Facilitate local input into issues that affect the Tuggeranong Valley.
Why CROWK was formed
The initial reason for forming CROWK was to oppose inappropriate re-development of a community recreation asset, the Murrumbidgee Country Club. This initial focus rapidly broadened to ensure residents have a significant say about the future direction of their community. CROWK remains committed to ensuring resident interests and the local environment are not subjugated to the interests of external profit seekers.

CROWK invites you to be part of discussions on how to move towards a sustainable local community. This forum ends a 3 year grant from ACT Health Promotion, and we need to work out where to go from here. The program has presentations and opportunities to have your say.
An early briefing session on the background research and outcomes of the project will be held on Wednesday June 24th from 7.30 – 9.00 pm at the Urambi Primary school.
Let us know as soon as possible if you can attend the forum, and/or the briefing, so we can send you a discussion paper and arrange catering.
Documents and further information will be added to the CROWK web site – www.crowk.org.au

Café based community consultation process.
CROWK has received an Envirofund grant from the ACT government to run six café-style social networking and information events. This café style process is an innovative way of building a stronger local community.
Events will take place in local shopping centres in Kambah and parts of Weston Creek. Refreshments are provided. Through these events, CROWK hopes to provide an enjoyable and relaxing environment where local residents can talk about their neighborhood and identify priorities with the aim of:
- improving the local community’s sustainability.
- building stronger local networks; and
- identifying what local residents can do together
