THE Hawks Nest Tea Gardens Progress Association (HNTGPA) has announced a new initiative set to transform part of the Myall Plaza shopping complex.
According to the HNTGPA, the project is being spearheaded by a “respected local property owner, whose support and commitment to community improvement have helped bring the idea to life”.
Work on the project officially commenced on 22 April, with the initial stage involving the treatment and poisoning of weeds and overgrowth in the area.
This stage is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.
Once the site is cleared and prepared, the next stages of the project will include:
– Installation of a new native garden, with plants to be sourced locally from Woody’s Nursery.
– Laying of weed matting to reduce future maintenance.
– Repainting and revitalisation of the pedestrian area.
– Improvements to the public toilet facilities.
– Installation of a small community library, stocked with free books for locals and visitors to enjoy.
The Progress Association says the project has already gained strong backing from volunteers and community members.
President Sandra Bourke said the project was another important step in the Association’s ongoing efforts to improve the town.
“This is another community-driven project we are delivering to improve our local town,” Ms Bourke said.
“We are excited about this initiative, and I sincerely thank all of the volunteers and the sponsor who have made this possible.
“Without their support and hard work, projects like this simply wouldn’t happen.”
Once complete, the revitalised area is expected to deliver benefits to the community, including improved amenity, appearance and cleanliness, while further enhancing the welcoming character of the town.
The Progress Association says it remains committed to delivering more practical, community-driven improvements and looks forward to sharing updates as works progress.
Residents are encouraged to follow the Progress Association’s social media channels for further announcements.
