The entire 22 ha recreational precinct will remain open to the public and funded by State Government. Also, a community grant of $100,000 has been awarded to Bundaleer Forest Community Areas Association to assist with building of a new visi- tor, community and event centre on site. This will be added to the $150,000 Fund My Neighbourhood project funding for that centre announced in 2017. Bundaleer Forest Community Areas Association chair Greg Boston says the Jamestown community can be very proud of its efforts in achieving this positive outcome for Bundaleer Picnic Ground. “Our amazing community has provided a united and sustained mes- sage to State Government about the social, cultural and environmental importance of the picnic ground for locals and visitors,” Greg says. “Our community has invested literally thousands of hours into saving this precious recreational gem over the past three and a half years. “I’d like to thank every person who did their bit, whether that was by commenting on the Greenways Act, voting through Fund My Neighbour- hood, creating a poster at school, taking on committee roles, or anything else.” Greg says community involvement in management of the site into the future is key to the on-going improvements at the site. “The basic maintenance of the picnic ground will be funded by State Government, but there is an incredible opportunity for our community to take the lead with site improvements and shape the future of the picnic ground,” he says. “BFCAA planning is well underway for a nature play trail, a series of creatively designed and themed play structures built from natural materi- als. “Other projects put forward by community members that are explored are installation of electric barbecues, renewing picnic tables, removing environmental weeds and planting trees. “BFCAA certainly welcomes any ideas and any offers of time, skills, energy and resources to create the best possible outcomes for the Bun- daleer Picnic Ground.” We Have Moved!

GEOFF WARREN FUNDRAISING CAUSE Dr Geoff Warren, who has been practising as a veterinarian in Jamestown for over 35 years, was recently attacked and mauled by a large dog in his veterinary practice. He was flown to Adelaide for emergency surgery to his wounds. He is extremely lucky that he survived the traumatic ordeal. Geoff sustained seri- ous injuries to his forearm, leg and face, including the loss of an ear, which have all resulted in the need for multiple skin grafting, a 24-day hospital stay and continuing treatment. Many Mid North residents can attest to Geoff being an extremely dedicated, compassionate and profes- sional veterinarian in the district. Those who have dealt with him would have an amazing story to share about his tremendous generosity and undying commitment to our pets and livestock. Years of midnight emergencies and 24 hour working days, has usually resulted in happy and healthy animals, due to the qual- ity of his service and willingness to go that extra mile. No one could ever dispute his very reasonable fees reflecting his philosophy for supporting the health and wellbeing of pets and livestock. Geoff’s outstanding reputation stretches not just in Jamestown but across the Mid North and into the pastoral districts. He has also been very generous in his commitment to local organisations such as the Peterborough Rodeo, Jamestown Racing Club and Jamestown Show. Locals believe this cause is an opportunity for the community to show appreciation for Geoff and the Jamestown Veterinary Practice’s compassion and care. Geoff wants the Mid North community to know that he still cares about the community’s pets and livestock and hopes to return to work in his veterinary practise before long. Geoff and his family appreciate the Mid North community’s compassionate responses during this time and will be putting donations towards- pay ing medical bills, prosthesis and to relieve some pressure from the forced time off work to allow a full recovery. Donations can be made to a MY CAUSE fund set up for Geoff. https://www.mycause.com.au/page/170605/help-out-dr-geoff-warren ROCkS HILLS FAMILY COMMUNITY CHURCH Sunday Service 11th March 10am to 12 pm at the Jamestown RSL Hall Irvine Street, JAMESTOWN All welcome.
