Draft agenda
We are very pleased to have Lucy Hopkins as our guest speaker to talk about the Adopt a Park project – Hackett shops gardens. Lucy and Maree Wright submitted an application early this year for a grant to engage a landscape architect to work with the community to develop a plan for enhancing the gardens at the shops. The HCA is managing the funds for this grant.
