For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, 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 $550.
It will serve about 324 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $550 goes:
• Materials: $420
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $25
Thank you so much.
