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.
