What is the Yarralumla Residents' Association

The YRA is a registered organization formed to represent the views of residents of Yarralumla. Membership is voluntary and by subscription. It is available to both residents and businesses located within Yarralumla. The YRA has a membership of about 10% of the houses in the suburb-about 100.

The YRA has been active over many years in putting forward members’ interests to Government. Priorities have been the desire to preserve the amenity of the suburb in the context of a desire by governments and developers for ‘urban consolidation’.
