For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Pioneer bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 353 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $650 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $290 • Safety equipment and signage: $250 • Permits and inspections: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Rodrigo
