All About Active Community Leaders

[melodyleft]

I have just been to the first RC meeting this week as an observer and the Chairman said now one has to be an executive member for three years before P1 registration to qualify for phase 2B. They also said that PA’s website has not been updated with the latest information. One have to go through observer–>GRL–>EM route.

Has anyone also heard of this? Is it GRL for two years or EM for 3 years?

Haven’t seen the official Statement for 3 years. If anyone has the link pls post here. So it’s still 2 years to be an active community leader, observer not counted. After observer will be EM status.

I only know 3 years is to apply BTO and EC under priority.

Just chip in bcoz after reading Davischew posting, I was reminded NParks spoke to me this morning abt garden plot allocation gonna be same difficulties as BTO balloting & SC criteria then PR in the order of allocation/entitlement. :rotflmao:

Thank you. That's my understanding too. Right now the website still says 2 years as GRL. If there is indeed a change, for sure it will be in newspaper and the entire society will shake a bit. Even if there is this change, I guess one still can appeal as this is not made know to the public ahead of time.

Thanks

Dear all, have been following the thread for awhile and would like to seek the experts’ advice here.


Some context. My place is within a mature estate. Have already submitted volunteer form via PA and invited to attend the next RC meeting.

In order to qualify for 2B in 2025, would need to be appointed as grassroots leader by 30 June 2023.

Understand that it takes time to go from observer to executive member and grassroots leader. Not sure if I’m getting the timeline of progression right.

And if so, how long does it typically take from observer stage to grassroot leaders stage? Not sure if I have sufficient time to pursue the GRL track (the schools we are eyeing for do not accept PV)

Thanks all! Pls feel free to PM me as well.

You need to shift house first.

Doesn’t matter where you GRL at. Your house GRC must be same as the school GRC.
