Hāwea Community Association; proudly advocating for the Hāwea community since 1989.

Introduction

The Hāwea Community Association (HCA) is a volunteer-run incorporated society representing the residents and ratepayers of Lake Hāwea, Hāwea Flat, John Creek and the surrounding rural area. Our role is to hold and advance the community's shared vision, to represent the community to local and central government and other bodies, and to support local initiatives.

Have Your Say

Community consultation is an essential part of our work. We’d love to hear from you on how we can preserve and enhance this gorgeous corner of the world. Please use the Contact Us page if you have any ideas you would like to share.

Sub-Committees and Projects

We represent Hāwea on issues that affect the area and consult the community so that its views are heard by the bodies making decisions. We also run standing sub-committees, such as the ANZAC Committee, the foreshore working group, the Playground Development Committee, and the Hāwea Green Waste Centre.

Volunteer

If you’ve got a bit of time on your hands and you’re looking for a feel-good volunteer role to directly benefit your community, we might have just the thing for you. From planting trees and lakefront management through to admin roles, there’s always plenty to do.

 Doing it for the love.
