The old Jacaranda bus depot needs a youth football pitch - Frank's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $2,550 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Jacaranda bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,050, and the remaining cost is $2,550.
It will serve about 392 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $195
• Tools hire and delivery: $185
• Materials: $2,170
Thanks for being kind about this.
