Let's build a solar-powered water pump together in Cairns

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $1,100. It will serve about 168 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $1,100 goes: • Permits and inspections: $200 • Tools hire and delivery: $590 • Safety equipment and signage: $310 Thanks for being kind about this. - Keith
