January Update
Dear residents,
Greening the Town
Now is the time to order your tree size and species for the Town's Adopt a Tree project. Trees can be adopted complete with a plaque as a tribute for families, or to remember a loved one. The trees planted last year are flourishing and will leave a lasting memory for generations to come. We look forward to the next round of plantings to occur in the coming months. Visit our website here to complete an application form.
Bay View Centre Bookings Open
The Bay View Community Centre has an exciting array of activities now ready to book, including Tai Chi, painting, illustrating and kids activities. Each activity will run throughout the term, commencing 10 February. Some classes are free or low cost, and bookings are essential as places are limited. Visit the Bay View Community Centre's what's on page for further information and booking details.
Young arts
We're pleased to be providing two exciting opportunities for eager young people to develop their creative skills. The youth mural mentorship will see one lucky young person assist an experienced artist in painting a public art mural, while the youth photography competition encourages them to look introspectively and capture an image under the theme of 'In your own world'. Plus, there are some exciting prizes on offer. To learn more about both initiatives and apply, visit our website.
WASO Free Family Concert
A Night on Bay View returns on Saturday 15 February from 7pm at Claremont Park. Parking is limited, consider riding or walking to the event. Visit our website here for more details.
