12.10.2024 CP00862 - Coondoo St Garden Beds (34)
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.
All of the fig trees along Coondoo Street are heritage listed and are all struggling in the relatively tiny 'boxes' that have been put around them. Many of these fig trees also have giant 'weed' umbrella trees and others growing up out of them which need to be removed - along with the singapore daisy. Will these be removed by Council?
How much extra stress are these causing the figs?
How much nutrients are they consuming?
By the way... the green coloured metal boxes throughout the garden beds in Kuranda used to house 'uplights' that would shine up into the heritage listed fig trees of a night.
They haven't worked for YEARS, will they be removed when Council finally decides to start this project?
Although far from the worst garden bed in the street, full of fish ferns. Some of the plants in it were planted by staff and business owners because they got sick of looking at garden beds that were full of weeds or bare.
Each morning a Council employee needs to be responsible for going around and tidying up our garden beds - removing the 'dead wood' that seems to lie around for weeks before being cleared up and taken away.
A Deed of Agreement with Queensland Government is being developed. Works to commence once the agreement is signed.
