12.10.2024 CP00862 - Coondoo St Garden Beds (20)

With Mareeba Shire Council receiving another $200,000 in grant money, after the $150,000 they said they had back in May 2022 'disappeared', we are documenting the current poor state of these garden beds so we can see EXACTLY what they do with this money.
These garden beds are some of the first the 100,000's of visitors to Kuranda see upon their arrival in Kuranda and look at them.
Overgrown, full of weed trees and 'fish' ferns... Fish ferns are what you plant in your gardens when you don't want to maintain them and although very 'green' and lush, they soon take over ANY garden bed their put in unless they are regularly maintained - which, as you can tell, they aren't and never have been.
A Deed of Agreement with Queensland Government is being developed apparently. Works to commence once the agreement is signed.
