Delegates at the annual meeting of the Council of Progress and Welfare Associations criticise waning interest among older suburbs and note few nominations leading to a new president. Officers are named, including C T Rayment as vice president and J Hayes as treasurer, with discussions pushing Interior Department action to boost meat delivery, more shops at centers, and safeguards to curb shopping monopolies. The meeting vows to approach ministers and review planning to improve suburbs and community centres. The report mentions manpower shortages delaying progress and highlights a convention with over 100 delegates from 30 organisations focusing on facilities at Civic Centre and a new corner shop in Narrabundah.
