Community steps up to enhance Ant Hill park
COMMUNITY spirit has led the way again, with Mareeba Rotary and Mareeba Lions joining forces to revitalise Ant Hill Park with 100 new recycled bollards.

The initiative, spearheaded by Rotarian Kevin Davies, saw the installation of 100 new recycled bollards, replacing old timber structures, which were falling apart.
“They were looking quite tatty, with giant metal long screws sticking out of them and it was only a matter of time before someone scratched themselves,” he said.
“I decided to apply for a grant from the Bendigo Bank last year and after being successful we then formed the partnership with Mareeba Lions to do what community groups do – which is awesome.”
Mr Davies’ sons, Liam and Bradley, were also onsite volunteering with the “heavy work”.
The project was funded by the Mareeba and Dimbulah Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank.
