Community Effort Removes 937 Tyres from Carwoola
937 Tyres Removed from Carwoola Community Hall Precinct
A long-standing environmental issue at the Carwoola Community Hall precinct has been addressed, with 937 tyres removed from the former Primrose Valley Pony Club arena built in 1991.
The project was made possible through funding from Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC), coordinated by the Carwoola 355 Committee, and delivered through the hard work of volunteers from the Carwoola Community Association (CCA).
Over a series of working bees, CCA volunteers dug up, recovered and stacked the tyres, which had been in place for over 30 years. Phis Environmental then collected and removed the tyres for appropriate recycling and disposal.
The arena is an important part of Carwoola’s history, having been established by the Primrose Valley Pony Club at a similar time to the construction of the Carwoola Community Hall in 1991.
CCA President Di Sanders said the project was a great example of community volunteers, Council and local organisations working together to achieve a positive outcome.
“We are extremely grateful to QPRC for providing the funding that made this project possible and to the Carwoola 355 Committee for coordinating the project. Most importantly, we thank the volunteers who put in the hard work to recover, stack annd load all 937 tyres.”
The Carwoola Community Association also thanked Phis Environmental for its assistance with the removal of the tyres.
The project has improved the appearance, safety and environmental value of this important community site for future generations.
