We’re a small but mighty bunch of volunteers, neighbours, and everyday helpers working together for our community.

What We Do

The Riversdale Beach Community Association is all about keeping our village connected and thriving. We work together to look after the things that make Riversdale special — from community facilities and local projects to events that bring everyone together. Our goal is to make sure Riversdale Beach stays a friendly, safe, and enjoyable place for locals, holiday-makers, and visitors alike..
