Killcare resident celebrated with community honour

Lisa Mount received the 'Community Recognition Award' for her role in setting up home markets across the Coast

A Killcare resident has been bestowed a ‘Community Recognition Award’ by the Wagstaffe to Killcare Community Association at a ceremony at Wagstaffe Hall last month.

Lisa Mount received the honour for her work in launching the popular community initiative, the Bouddi Home Markets, which involves a series of home-based shop fronts advertised in a local Facebook group.

In what was first started as a simple business project to cure the lockdown blues in the sleepy suburb, Mount’s project soon blossomed into dozens of markets stalls set up across the Central Coast.

Mount thanked her family, friends and co-founder who “supported and encouraged her all the way through.”

The latest home market additions to the Coast are in Summerland Point, Gwandalan and Lake Munmorah.
