Project accomplished. I checked it out this morning and it's now completed with two-way directional sign on Rotary Loop track.
Niels will soon fit the 'Betty Harris' sign to the rear of the seat.
Thank you to all who helped in any way:
Our sponsors who have been acknowledged in the sign secured into the fence;
Council staff and contractors who assisted logistically (and with waiving of 'permit' authority fees);
FOM Team and Jim with his trusty tractor;
HLBd members for their funding support, interest and encouragement;
Niels and Betty Harris estate for gifting the seat in memory of Kit & Betty Harris,
and, our contractor Bella Vista Design - Darren Clooney and team for such a professional job.
Some weed maintenance work for us to do in coming weeks, and additional planting next season. The benefits from doing this project 11 years after first planting the surrounding area provided maturing bush which really enhances the final results.
We will be asking that Council (through the HLBd) record the 'Friends Lookout' as a Council Asset for park furniture maintenance purposes.
Also for the MMRoa Valley Reserves draft development plan team; please add the 'Friends Lookout' into the site plans.
Best regards,
