This is a Jarrahdale Community Association plan

Plan Description:

The JCA plan is to make sure that kids, local families and tourists have a playground that reflects Jarrahdale. The playground from stage 1 has therefore been designed in environmental colours, has Australian animals and a bush theme. Federation panels to the roof tops provide a more heritage look and we even have a General Store role play panel. This playground is a multi age facility catering to the needs of small toddlers to young teenagers. A place where they can play and grow. We want to encourage our kids to understand the benefit of health and fitness and have fun along the way.

My Big reasons are:

Jarrahdale is a heritage listed town at the foot of the Darling Range, about an hours drive south east of Perth. We’re a small town and so the recreational facilities available for our kids aren’t great. That’s why the Jarrahdale Community Association under the stewardship of David Richer is keen to build on the success we’ve already had in building a multi age facility for local kids. The JCA is also working closely with the Serpentine Jarrahdale Community Development Team headed by Carole Mc Kee to realise this vision. With the help of grants from Bendigo Bank, Alcoa, Lotteries West and others, we’ve already gotten Stage 1 established, so now it’s time to get Stage 2 of this project up and running.

My plan will be a success when:

the Jarrahdale Community Association finish what we have started. Forest Green will be a special place for the community. A place for people to socialise and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of an Aussie Bush setting. In a time of rapid development and growth elsewhere Forest Green is a step back in time to a quieter existence. It will be an experience to be treasured. I look forward to that day with great excitement. I know the JCA’s plan is a success when we host the opening ceremony of the final stage 2. It will come to life for me personally when I look around and see what we have created surrounded by a crowd of appreciative families who can’t wait to use it. The sounds of laughter, kids having fun, the smell of a snagga on a barbie, the wack of a cricket ball and the kick of a footie that is SUCCESS!!!
