A quick shoutout to two lovely locals, Glenda Germain and Pam Harris! 🌹🌱

Glenda volunteered her time—and gardening expertise—to prune the roses in Memorial Park, while Pam has planted some seedlings in the Nyabing entry statements.

Thanks for lending a hand, ladies. It’s little things like this that help keep our town looking wonderful! 🤩

These requirements are enforceable. The Shire will monitor compliance and may investigate identified or reported concerns, with further action taken where necessary.
