LRG gets gardening grant
Lambton Residents Group (LRG) received confirmation recently from City of Newcastle council that its application for a ‘Make Your Place’ grant had been successful. Lambton Residents Group is an informal yet active group of people from all walks of life and from throughout the Lambton area. Group members share ideas and work together to make Lambton an even better place for all to enjoy. The ‘Make Your Place’ Community Grant program provides grants of up to $2000 for place making initiatives for local community projects to achieve safe, vibrant and welcoming places. Tammy Russell, co-ordinator of the working bees held by LRG every few months in Lambton Park, said “The group was really pleased to have been successful (with the grant). The idea of the

Lambton Residents Group members (L to R) Don, Matthew and Ian looking busy at a recent Lambton Park gardens working bee grant is that we can purchase gardening equipment like wheel barrows, rakes, shovels and forks which are dedicated to the gardening bees rather than volunteers having to bring their own tools.”
“Our thanks go to the ‘Make Your Place’ Panel for their support of our idea” Tammy added. For more information regarding Lambton Residents Group email lambtonresidents@gmail.com or phone 0402 949 854.
