The Progress Association is the Community’s direct link to all those institutions and organisations at Local, State and Commonwealth levels, which can impact on Gidgegannup’s future. Its aims are to "promote, advance and secure the special and general welfare, interests and opinions of persons resident or owning land in or around the locality of Gidgegannup and to maintain and improve the lifestyle of such persons".

Gidgegannup has developed rapidly over the last ten years since the adoption of the original Gidgegannup Rural Strategy. A developer has now proposed some Outline Development Plans, which are outside the Conceptual Townsite area planned in 1992.

The community need to identify the drawbacks and the benefits to this proposal. This issue will decide where Gidgegannup goes over the next few years so is important to all Members of the Community.

The Association meets on the third Monday of each month at the Agricultural Society Hall at 7.30 pm, and members of the community are welcome to attend.

It was established in 1946 with the name Hampstead Hills Progress Association and its initial task was to organise Gidgegannup’s first Agricultural Show in 1946. In 1949 the name was changed to the Gidgegannup Progress Association and the organisation was incorporated. Its Committee was responsible for community matters and Show organisation for the next 13 years.

In 1962 the Show sub-committee incorporated themselves into the Gidgegannup Agricultural Society to allow independent financial management of Show affairs. By 1990 show growth and development pressures in the Gidgegannup area forced realisation that two organisations were needed and the Progress Association separated from its original sub-committee and handed over the show land and the Gidgegram to the Agricultural Society.
