As well as having excellent community facilities for a rural centre of its size, and the underlying infrastructure in place for substantial low-cost population expansion, Cooma has a number of extremely active and dedicated support groups.
These groups range from a community garden to a number of organisations supporting our citizens in all age groups.
Undying community support is also a feature of the wider region, due to the extraordinary willingness of the population to give its time and energies to good causes. An outstanding example is MCCR (Monaro Committee for Cancer Research), which has raised significant sums of money for that purpose.
