Cittaslow Australasia
On 4 June 2011, Cittaslow Australasia was established in Yea, Victoria. With the successful accreditation of Yea which joined Goolwa in South Australia and Katoomba in the Blue Mountains NSW a meeting was held to establish the Australasian Cittaslow Network. It is necessary for a country or region to have three accredited towns before a national network can be established. Following the experience of the Scandinavian Citttaslow Network, it was agreed to call the organisation Cittaslow Australasian to ease the entry of single towns from New Zealand into this family of towns that strive to improve the quality of life for all who live, work or visit their precinct.
Cittaslow International designated Goolwa as 
the "lead town" for the establishment of the Australasian Cittaslow Network. One of the early tasks for the Australasian Cittaslow Network will be the establishment of the Australian criteria based on the original Italian goals. There will be more details to come.
At the Formation Meeting for Cittaslow Australasia, the following office bearers were elected.
President: Lyn Clark (Goolwa)
Vice President: Adele Anderson (Yea)
Secretary/Public Officer: John Clark (Goolwa)
Treasurer/Registrar: Paul Payten (Katoomba)
Committee members: Adam Dennis (Yea) [webmaster], Helen Jolly (Yea) and Susan Bell (Katoomba).
