At the initiative of Logan City Mayor, Pam Parker, several local volunteers, primarily from the Islamic community converged on the Beenleigh Tree Farm on Saturday 9/02/13 to assist in restoration of the property, which was looking like a war zone early in the day.
Intrec Constructions, who have been working at the Council Chambers, organized bobcats from Gecko and high volume water blasting equipment from Waterworks, to augment hired equipment from local hire firm Harrisons.
The photos below give a fair indication of the mess left by the receding waters of the Logan River which inundated the property during the recent floods.
After putting in a solid day’s work the volunteers (numbering approximately 50) then set off on the long drive to Bundaberg where their offers of assistance will undoubtedly be warmly appreciated.
Many thanks to Beenleigh Rotary who were on hand to provide a BBQ lunch complete with halal sausages.
