A new picnic shelter and timber seat have been installed at the Yarra Recreation Reserve with the assistance of a $2860 Veolia Mulwaree Trust grant. Secretary/Treasurer, Kerrie Brown, said the new facilities have already been used by locals and passing travellers with many positive comments received. Mrs Brown said “The area has become a very pleasant and ‘user friendly’ venue for locals and passing travellers. The addition of the picnic shelter and wooden seat has created an inviting and welcoming place to relax. The generosity of the Veolia Mulwaree Trust in supporting community projects with funding grants is greatly appreciated by the residents of the Yarra area.”
