Woodland Oaks Civic Association

Representing Harvey residents from Manhattan Blvd to Murphy Canal
and from Lapalco Blvd to Harvey Blvd

About us

Serving Harvey residents since 1969

Starting as Woodland West and the Southern Oaks subdivisions, the Civic Association has grown and changed with the times. As subdivisions were added to the area, WOCA grew and represented more families. Since the early 2000's, our local community has grown from Lapalco Blvd (bordering the original Woodland West and Southern Oaks areas to the north) to include the neighborhoods to the south, all the way to Harvey Blvd, between Murphy Canal to Manhattan Blvd, and a section to the east of Manhattan Blvd.

The Woodland Oaks Civic Association (WOCA), associated with the West Jefferson Civic Coalition, serves as a contact between the community and the Jefferson Parish departments. With close contacts with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (JPSO), the Parish Council and the parish administration WOCA works to keep the community - you and I - informed and involved in parish decision and concerns.

Meetings

Usually every month
Next meeting is on Tuesday, April 22, 2025
in the JPSO 2nd District Meeting Roon (2nd floor)

This year the meetings will be scheduled in the even months, starting in February. See the section below for the dates and locations of the meetings

Safety & JPSO

WOCA provides regular opportunities to meet with the JPSO deputies who patrol our streets and the district commander, Captain Larry Dyess, on a personal basis. The meeting discussions focus on our safety concerns. Free discussion is a priority to focus on the where, when, and who needs of the whole community. The Sheriff's Citizens Academy provides even more insight into law enforcement in Jefferson Parish.

Parish Council Relations

WOCA gives the community members an opportunity to meet our parish council one-on-one on a personal level. Our District 1 Councilman, Joe Marino, and the At-Large Council members, Jennifer Van Vrancken and Scott Walker, are invited to join us to share ideas and feedback.

Parish Administration

From the Parish President, Cynthia Lee Sheng, to the department heads that provide the services and regulations in our little world, there are a lot of people in the parish. WOCA provides a place to meet these vital people and hear from them about changes in services, repairs and mew developments that affect the whole parish.

Other Areas

What will change next week? What issues will the parish council face at their next meeting? What will be on the ballot in March that we should be concerned about? What is being built down the street".

The civic association is your forum to become involved in changes.
