MOOLOOLAH River Landcare (MRL) is celebrating the official opening and naming of their new purpose built community space.
On Saturday April 13, the community is invited to head along to the MRL facility to enjoy a special family friendly event packed with eco-goodness fun, nature-based art activities, plant and tree giveaways, even a chance to ‘adopt’ your own stick insect and more from 9am-1pm.
MRL Community Engagement Officer, Jessica Raintree, said the completion of the new indoor community space had been a long anticipated wait. Delaying factors such as COVID and building material cost blowouts requiring additional funding sources had stretched the initial project timeline funded in 2019 out to five years.
She said the new building was not only a great space for MRL to use for workshops and events but is also a space that the community could access for small events, meetings, movie nights, workshops and gatherings.
“We would love to see this space being used by the community to incubate ideas, network, learn and use as a launchpad for environmental connection and action,” she said.
MRL is located at 2671 Steve Irwin Way, Glenview.
