Volunteer grant for CCRFI
Many changes will be taking place across Cooloola Cove and Tin Can Bay now the Gympie Regional Councils ‘Our Towns’ project has been funded, some of it for ‘streetscaping’ plus upgrading our two parks.
Good news – Cooloola Cove Residents and Friends Inc have been successful for the third time in our application for the ‘Volunteers Grant’.
This will be put to good use in purchasing much needed equipment for our hard working volunteers; IT equipment, tables, shelves and storage boxes, gardening tool and equipment, etc.
Over 20 years ago, long before becoming an association, many locals established the 8 hectare lot of undeveloped area designated as a park into the now gazetted ‘Centenary of Federation Park’ in Mauritaina Avenue.
Maintained using their own private mowers at first, they continue to oversee the general upkeep of the grassed areas and gardens.
Past applications from Gambling Community grants allowed us to purchase all the playground equipment then council funded the BBQ and picnic shelters, in use today.
Next meeting: 10am July 18 at Cooloola Cove Veterans and Community Hall.
