Parking ...
On Sunday 14 September from 10am to 12pm at Rotary Centennial Park, our usual access Remembrance Drive Service Road is closed for road works.
When coming from Ballarat please turn right onto the Ballarat Link Road and then immediately cross over to your left, where you can park along the fenceline.
There is a gap in the fence to get into the park, be careful and look out for the barbed wire on the fence.

• Be aware of moving vehicles
• Vehicle drivers drive under 10kms an hour and be aware of pedestrians
• Take care with tools – mallets, hammers, secateurs, shovels, wheel barrows etc.
• USE COMMON SENSE AND CARE AT ALL TIME

Please bring (if you have at hand)

Planned tasks include:

• 120 plants to plant on the west boundary. Start planting on south boundary if time allows.
• Maintenance on existing trees and shrubs
  • Weeding
  • Trimming low growth.
  • Create wire surrounds for some plants as growth is being restricted in plastic sleeves
  • Ensure all plants have 3 well secured stakes
  • Some plants will require a second plastic sleeve as rabbits stand on tippy toes to eat new growth. This will require longer stakes and a stapler.
