Locals celebrated the 50th anniversary of Blind Bight at Blind Bight Community Centre on Saturday 9 November.
Holt MP Cassandra Fernando, Bass MP Jordan Crugnale, and the newly elected Cranbourne Gardens Ward councillor Michelle Crowther attended the day.
Blind Bight Community Centre president Anne Gallagher said it was a great day.
“We had really good weather. We had a pretty good turnout between 600 and 800 people, and so far, we’ve received some pretty good feedback,” she said
“There’s been quite a number of people who have moved out and come back for the day, so we’ve tried to create a time capsule and get people to fill in.
“We put out the years on our board and got people to fill in the year that they moved in, and we’re going to put that as part of our time capsule, and open that in another 50 years.”
Having lived in Blind Bight for more than a decade, Ms Gallagher said the demographics of Blind Bight changed over the years.
“When I first moved in, it was predominantly an elderly area, whereas now there’s so many more families with young kids,” she said.
