Lake Marma Innovative Water Playground

The Lake Marma Committee of Management wishes to install an innovative water playground feature in a new recreational facility being developed in the north-west corner of the Lake Marma Reserve in Murtoa. The innovative water playground will be set in an attractive tree lined location overlooking Lake Marma and is a key feature of the overall development of this area for the benefit of the community.

Upgrade to Stawell Rd Bridge Dog Park

The City of Horsham Lions Club established a dog park near the bridge about 40 years ago that is extensively used by the public and we believe it could do with an upgrade. Our proposal is to extend the park and create two separate areas for smaller and larger dogs making it much safer all users including the dogs. The upgrade would also include two shade and seating areas.

Project Cost

• Total project cost $60,000
• Other cash contribution $10,000
• In kind contribution Any labour that maybe be required and appropriate

Horsham Cemetery SmartWater Project

Horsham Cemetery SmartWater Project has been made possible after the exciting news for Horsham North residents that the Dudley Cornell Park and Horsham Public Cemetery was be included in the Victorian State Government’s $10 million SmartWater Horsham project. The SmartWater project will supply recycled water to Horsham sporting ovals and parks. To droughtproof and keep the cemetery looking at its best now and, in the future, the current lawn sprinkler system urgently needs upgrading. The upgrade will require doubling the cemetery’s current water storage capacity, additional pressure water pumps, a reconfiguration of the sprinkler piping layout and electronic control systems. Over time, as the lawn cemetery has grown in area and the current system is inadequate to fully take advantage of the new SmartWater supply.

Project Cost

• Total project cost $75,000
• Other cash contribution A budgeted amount of $25,000
• In kind contribution Horsham East Rotary Club
