What's happening around Waite?

Our Community Newspaper

Keeping our community informed and sharing local stories is how we stay connected. After the loss of the wonderful Blackwood Times, the Blackwood Action Group and I were keen to fill that space. This community newspaper is about sharing upcoming events, celebrating our local history, and recognising the people who make Waite a great place to be. Thank you to everyone who contributes and helps keep our community connected.
