CURRENT RRA NEWS 

2010 Spring Pavement Competition

2nd August 2010: The pavement competition has been postponed to October due to frost damage to gardens.  New date will be advised shortly.

The RRA committee invites all residents within the RRA area to participate in the 2010 Spring Pavement Gardening Competition. This fun event aims to increase residents’ involvement in the community and enhance the appearance of our suburb.

Members of the Lifestyle Garden Design Association (LGDA) and Mr Leon Bosch of the Fairway Hotel & Spa (Operations and Marketing Director for Guvon Hotels) have agreed to act as judges of the entries. The plan is to assess all entries sometime late August, from which a number of finalists will be selected. Finalists will be seen by all the judges, and the winners chosen. Final judging is provisionally planned for 11 September 2010.
