Project 2000 on site

A SITE has been nominated for the Project 2000 heritage tile and shelter project.

Up to 350 terracotta tiles, deep etched with family names or messages from local residents will be used to pave a park area between the Nicklin Clock and the Memorial Hall in Palmwoods.

The Palmwoods Progress Association project team, headed by Roger Brooke said response to the tile project had already been strong.

"The tiles, individually engraved with names of current residents who wish to take part as well as others bearing the names of our pioneer families, will commemorate the current community’s contribution to the 20th century at the turn of the millennium," he said.

"This will be a permanent monument for Palmwoods and represents the chance for local families to go down in history."

Mr Brooke said the area would fit with the existing landscaping and ultimately a little gazebo would be built at one end. There will be balustrading at the top of the rock wall which is about two metres above the road and a circular stone seat will be placed at one end.

Residents who would like to be part of Project 2000 are invited to attend the next PPA meeting on November 12, at the Memorial Hall or contact Mr Brooke 5445 0213.
