Kinloch Community Association (KCA)
Caring for Kinloch
The Kinloch Community Association (KCA) takes a community development approach to ensure that needs of the community are being addressed. Our KCA does this by creating various programs and initiatives that are meaningful for residents and absent ratepayers. We engage the skills and talents of our neighbourhoods to build our vibrant community.
Association History
The KCA is the third iteration of the community representation group that originated as the Kinloch Fishing, Boating and Ratepayers Association incorporated in 1962.
This evolved into the Kinloch Country club in 1976/77 and in 1984 Kinloch Fishing, Boating and Ratepayers Association was officially disbanded and assets transferred to The Kinloch Country Club.
In 2007 the name changed once again to become The Kinloch Community Association.
