SNAPSHOT of Our Project: Synthetic turf play area

We would like to provide an all year-round useable area for our school and local community to exercise and play. The area is the only non-hard surface area of the front playground. Children would be able to run and play on a soft ground area. The synthetic turf would enhance the street view of our school, making our school a more welcoming environment. Community functions could also be held in the area.

What is the My Community Project?

The My Community Project will make up to $200,000 available to the most worthy projects in the Hornsby state electorate. These projects will be decided by you, the public, through an online voting system that is open from 15th July to 15th August 2019.
