Friends of Cape Schanck

Friends of Cape Schanck (FOCS) is a not-for-profit, incorporated, community group, formed in 2011 in response to a proposed development at Cape Schanck’s Barrugunda Estate.  Founded by residents of Cape Schanck, its membership is now more widespread. We aim to (Statement of Purpose):
