Newtown Residents' Association

Newtown Residents' Association has been an Incorporated Society since 29th July 1963, following on from earlier Associations – Newtown Residents have been getting together to promote and improve Newtown since the 1880s. Newtown is a particularly heritage-conscious suburb – in fact the main business area is a designated heritage zone – so we welcome the opportunity to celebrate this Festival!
