Kogarah Bay Progress Association

The Kogarah Bay Progress Association is an Australian organisation serving the Kogarah Bay community. It is simultaneously a political party under the name of the Georges River Residents and Ratepayers Party (GRRRP), and is registered in the state of New South Wales.

History and leadership
The association was established in 1921, and reached its centenary in 2023. The Georges River Residents and Ratespayers Party was founded in 2021. In its first showing in the 2021 NSW local elections, the party finished third and received 16,607 votes, earning four council seats.

The Honorary Secretary of the Kogarah Bay Progress Association is Elise Borg. Borg was also appointed as Deputy Mayor of Georges River in September 2023, alongside Sam Elmir becoming Mayor, and she continues in that role. Borg is also serving her second term as Councillor.

Activities
The association has generally been opposed to rezoning projects. The association had also raised concerns about the development application by Georges River Council for the demolition of the Sans Souci Bathers' Pavilion, a local building.

The association helped secure federal funding for the Planting Trees for the Queen's Jubilee grant program, and has volunteered with preservation of the plants.

It has also assisted volunteers during Clean Up Australia day.
