The Berry Alliance and Town Crier

The Berry Alliance was formed in 1995 and is an incorporated community group dedicated to assisting the Berry community and individual Berry community groups. This is primarily done through our monthly publication, the Berry Town Crier, which was also established in 1995 by the Alliance.

It was the Community Consultative Body for Council from 1999 until 2016 when a new group was formed and the Berry Alliance stood down from that position with Council. Council then advertised the position and in due process appointed The Berry Forum who are currently the CCB for Council issues.

The Berry Alliance volunteered to assist the newly appointed CCB and offered the Berry Forum sufficient space in the Town Crier to fulfil that role on Council issues. The Committee is elected at the Annual General Meeting and meets monthly or more often if necessary. Please contact the Secretary regarding our Rules of Association, as these are currently under review.
