Who We Are
OUR HISTORY
1989-1992: Group of 5 local residents formed an unincorporated group to tackle local problems, originally including speeding, traffic management, anti-social behavior, alcohol and drug awareness, and community development activities. It was incorporated in 1993 known as Silver Bridle Action Group Inc. In 2013, it entered a 15-year facilities management agreement with the Gold Coast City Council until 2027 to run Lynne Richardson Community Centre in Molendinar. Since then it has run several programmes, providing support and assistance to both local and broader communities through programs tailored for all ages and stages of life.
