HREP keeps trundling along
The Honeysuckle Recreational Environment Project committee looked at the tendered designs for the proposed footbridge over the Honeysuckle Creek and scored them according to aesthetics.
The Strathbogie Shire is currently looking at the tenders with regard to the results of our aesthetics scoring and other aspects of the construction (e.g. cost, builder's ability and experience, and their proposed construction management system).
We eagerly await news of the outcome of this. There are two more HREP planting days this year: Sunday 8th October, and Sunday 22nd October, starting at 10.00 a.m., with a barbeque lunch supplied.
Please call Robin Landvogt on (03) 5798 1335 for details on planting locations.
