MDPA

About us

Founded in 2004, the Merriwa District Progress Association Inc. (MDPA) was established by a group of local citizens interested in maintaining and improving the standard of living of those in both the Merriwa township and the surrounding district.

Since the amalgamation of the Merriwa Shire Council with the Scone Shire Council and half the Murrurundi Shire Council (now the Upper Hunter Shire Council), the Association has represented the interests specific to Merriwa (and surrounds).

We also work with other local groups with the aim of maintaining, encouraging and promoting the social, economic, environmental, cultural and educational progress of Merriwa and district.

The MDPA is a not-for-profit organisation. We meet on the third Wednesday of every month (except January) at 6:00 PM in the Merriwa RSL Club at 122-126 Bettington Street, Merriwa.

The MDPA is ...

Working towards
a better future ...

for Merriwa and district.
