Community Recognition Statement

Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields) — Quality playground equipment is pivotal for healthy and active communities.

It is fantastic to see the Macquarie Links community be proactive and secure new playgrounds and fitness equipment for residents of all ages.

The Macquarie Links Community Association secured nearly $180,000 in funding for three small playgrounds and a fitness area through the My Community Project program.

Congratulations to the Association members who put in a lot of time and effort to prepare the funding submission and to win community votes to secure funding.

The effort of the Association members is a prime example of how fighting for our community can make a big impact on the lives of others, especially our youngest residents.

It was pleasure to visit Macquarie Links with Cr Rey Manoto and try out the new playground and fitness equipment. The playground received a big tick of approval from the kids!

We are confident families in Macquarie Links will take every opportunity to enjoy these community facilities with their children and continue with their commitment to the community of Macquarie Links.
