PAST PROJECTS

COMMUNITY CENTRE TOTUMS

Aunty Lorraine and Aunty Narelle from Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation were engaged last year by Wollongong City Council to upgrade the artwork on the Welcome Totems at the entrance to the Community Centre.

We organized a design workshop with Aunty Lorraine and some of the Stage 3 kids from the Port Kembla Primary School. Over the course of the workshop and some yummy morning tea, the kids came up with some design ideas that were incorporated by Aunty Lorraine into the overall final design for the totems.

Council organized for the old mosaic to be stripped back and for the poles to be primed for the addition of the new artwork designs.  Aunty Lorraine and Aunty Narelle applied the new designs and we have to say they look fantastic!

KING GEORGE V OVAL BUSHCARE GROUP

The overall aim of the King George V Planting Program is to enhance the park by providing shade, aesthetic benefits, seating, walking tracks, and habitat for native fauna, through planting programs where the community can become involved.

We believe that this will not only increase the ownership of the park by the community but will also provide opportunities for education in sustainability.

The planting activities provide opportunities for social interaction across the community and the result will be a place that people in the community will be more inclined to use for social interaction.

The program supports a weekly Bushcare group and annual school planting day, with additional opportunities to support special events such as National Tree Day, Trees for Mum, and 350 days for climate action.

The group are all volunteers from the local area and everyone is made welcome. They meet each weekend usually on a Saturday morning. If you can spare anytime even once a month your time will be greatly appreciated.
