Preserving, supporting and strengthening our Village communities.
Exeter was settled as a farm by James Badgery in 1821 and named after the County town of Devon. By the 1880’s Exeter was an established village community with services.
Who we are
Exeter Village Association Inc, known as EVA, is a not-for-profit community organisation whose aim is to support and strengthen the communities and villages of Exeter, Sutton Forest, Werai and surrounds and to preserve their unique identities.
Are you new to Exeter, Sutton Forest or Werai?
Welcome! We have a Welcome Pack for new residents which provides a Directory of local services and helps you settle into our villages. If we haven’t met you yet and you would like a Welcome Pack please request one here.
Advocacy and Support.
EVA plays an important advocacy role in the community, representing and supporting its residents and special interest groups. It does this in a number of ways.
Why become a member of EVA?
As a member, you can have an input into the quality of life of all residents. Whether you live in Exeter, Sutton Forest or the surrounding farmlands, we would love you to join and support EVA and the villages in our area.
“Community is so much more than belonging to something. It’s about doing something together that makes belonging matter.”
— Brian Solis
What our members say.
Our move to Exeter was prompted by the desire to experience farm and village life within 2 hours of Sydney. We love the rolling hills, natural bush and strong sense of community in the village.

We’ve built a home-away-from-home and love our street community and being part of the village and EVA.
