Where does Proudly Three Rivers work? A quick guide to how we use your contributions š ļøš±
We love keeping our beautiful suburb clean, safe, and running smoothly. Because we manage community-funded resources, we always want to be 100% transparent about the strict legal and operational guidelines we must follow regarding where and how we spend our time, machinery, and funds.
To keep everyone on the same page, here is a quick breakdown of our boundaries:
What we DO maintain: Public roads, public pavements, and public green belts. If it belongs to the municipality and the entire community uses it daily, we are on it!
What we CANNOT maintain: Private or institutional property. This includes internal roads or parking bays inside private residential complexes, private business premises, and institutional grounds (such as schools or churches).
"Can we just buy the materials, offer a partnership, or use our monthly contribution to fix our private property?"
We often get asked to take on maintenance or repair jobs for private properties and institutionsāsometimes in exchange for signage, exposure, or offers to buy the raw materials (like tar or asphalt). We also get asked by residents if we can fix the potholes inside their specific residential complexes.
As a registered NPO, we simply cannot do this. Our team, equipment, and time are 100% dedicated to urgent public infrastructure. We do not have the capacity to act as a commercial asphalt contractor or a private garden service, nor can we legally divert community contributions towards private property upgrades.
When we have to say no, it is never personal. Itās simply us staying compliant, respecting our mandate, and protecting the funds entrusted to us by our residents.
Thank you to the incredible community members and businesses who support Proudly Three Rivers purely to see our suburb thrive as a whole! š¤
