Description:
The Fern Tree Community Association (FTCA) is a non-profit group set up to serve and represent the community of Fern Tree. Fern Tree is a suburb in Greater Hobart on the lower elevation of Mt Wellington. Formerly known as the 'Fern Tree Progress Association', FTCA was incorporated in 1982 under The Constitution of the Fern Tree Community Association. Meetings that are open to all residents elect a committee each year to conduct the association. The Association publishes a newsletter four to five times a year. The main focus of the FTCA is the Community Centre (at 8 Stephenson Place), which it owns freehold. Most community events are held with a view to covering the costs of maintaining the Community Centre. The FTCA runs regular book fairs, film nights, dinners, and other events such as Carols by Candlelight and a family barbecue. The FTCA also liaises with government and other bodies regarding public works and other aspects involving the Fern Tree community.
