The Emerald Village Association

The Emerald Village Committee was originally formed over 20 years ago. It was always a Section 86 Committee of the Cardinia Shire Council until it incorporated in early 2020. It is now the The Emerald Village Association Inc., independent of Council and can make decisions on any issues it sees fit.

The purpose of the EVA Inc.:

  • To strive to be the voice of Emerald, by representing and liaising with local groups and individuals so that matters of public interest can be identified and evaluated;

  • To liaise with the Cardinia Shire Council and others on matters of public interest;

  • To identify the unique strengths of the Emerald village community  to build proposals from those strengths;

  • To provide a conduit for all local organisations and community members to the Cardinia Shire Council, its CEO, Ward Councillors, staff and representatives;

  • To build and maintain a network of local community groups;

  • To develop an annual business plan which clearly identifies objectives that EVA Inc. aims to achieve, and

  • To promote specific community projects which will enhance the sustainability of Emerald village and the well being of the community.

Achievements:

  • We are thrilled as to how our Pen Pal Project has kicked off with over 150 participants.
