Central West Lachlan Landcare submitted an application for Tidy Towns Sustainability Awards in the category of Community Spirit and Inclusion.
This application contributed to Parkes Shire Council becoming a finalist in the Keep Australia Beautiful NSW Tidy Towns Overall Award, profiling several other projects including Parkes Wetlands, Lake Endeavour, Raw Water Storage Lagoon and the Splash Park at Kelly Reserve.
Last week we had a visit from the Tidy Towns Assessor, Doug MacDonald at Parkes Shire Council. This was an opportunity to share with Doug about our enthusiasm for Homegrown Parkes face to face and an opportunity for him to check out the other projects included in the broader submission.
We are so thrilled to have the opportunity to be part of this submission. The Awards weekend is held at the start of November in Bathurst.
Are you keen to be involved in our next Homegrown Parkes event on 12 October? There are heaps of ways you can be involved….as a stallholder, attend a workshop, visit over 40 stallholders, purchase some fresh, local food, be entertained by our fantastic entertainers, sit and enjoy the park space or contribute to Crop Swap. Everyone is welcome at this free community event.
