Boongaree Update

September 2019

Get ready Berry, a new nature park is coming your way! Exciting things have been happening and Boongaree is on the path to being built. Council in partnership with the Rotary Club of Berry, Berry Forum, Berry Chamber of Commerce and other Community and Sporting Groups are working together to deliver the first funded stage which includes a dual flying fox (in late 2020) and other parts of the Rotary Nature Play Park (by the end of 2021).

Most importantly, Member for Kiama Gareth Ward MP has promised the Rotary Club of Berry $4 million to deliver the Nature Play Park. Though this funding is not included in this year's State budget hopefully it will be available soon.

Further stages include picnic areas. sporting fields, pump track, and dog off-leash area as additional funding becomes available. Although this project is partially funded by State and Federal grants.

Council and the Boongaree Working Group are working together on a Donor Package. Businesses and Community can contribute to the purchase of various components of Boongaree. Stay tuned for more info within the coming months.

The location of this large recreational development is on North St. formerly Berry Sporting Complex.

This project is proudly supported by the Berry Town Crier. Read their September issue online...
