Thanks to Dave Peters, Ian Williams, Terry Hickling and Greg Edgerton who helped with the installation of the AFL posts on the oval Simpsons Park. Also thanks to Andrew Kleinert who organised the help from the Men’s Social Club members. This was a community effort and a magnificent result for the community with many more to come. Don’t forget to have a look as you pass by the Community Centre. – Richard Gill (NARRA President)
Our community book exchange (affectionately known as the Book Fridge) is now ready for readers, just in time for holiday reading by the water.
Thank you to Janine Honing for sourcing the second hand fridge which houses our book collection, in the porch of the community centre. We are also indebted to Grace Hall, a talented local 14 year old lass who kindly and beautifully decorated the fridge for the whole community to enjoy.
The fridge holds an interesting mix of fiction for any taste and a smaller range of non fiction titles as well as some children’s books.
Feel free to come and take, exchange or leave a book. We only ask that you leave interesting books in good condition and take care not to overload the racks.
Happy Reading.
Happy New Year! We’re thrilled to announce the lineup of events for the Newlands Arm community in 2025. Mark your calendars and join us as we come together for a fantastic year of activities, connection, and fun.

We can’t wait to see you at these events and make 2025 an unforgettable year for Newlands Arm!
2024 Community Bank Paynesville & District Sponsorship program
NEWLANDS ARM RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION INC.
(NARRA) has been granted a sponsorship from The Bendigo Bank, Community Bank – Paynesville & District.
At the awards ceremony on 18th November 2024, Richard Gill and Roger Hawkins received the grant with excitement for our community.
Our application was based around the procurement of sporting equipment for our Kids at Simpson Park.
This grant will assist NARRA to begin the process of creating a sporting equipment inventory,
beginning with one set of AFL Posts and a full-size Soccer Goal to be installed at the Simpson Park “Oval”. Also known as the Community Hall Reserve.
Our future plans are with more grants, to incorporate a Basketball and Netball facility at Simpson park.
Development of Sports Facilities at Dawsons Cove is also desirable as we work with the council to achieve this.
Community Bank – Paynesville & District Sponsorship amount including GST is $5,500.00
You will see a sign at the Hall Entrance promoting the Bendigo Bank, Community Bank – Paynesville & District,
