“For March, activities include a choice of Quad Bike King Shipwreck Tour or to visit Fighter world,” she said.

“There are so many activities already identified this year and we hope the community will join us at our annual Neighbourhood Centre BBQ in May and the Family Fun Day, in partnership with Family Insight, planned for September.
“As the weather heats up towards the end of 2016, family-friendly movies will again be held at Scone Park.”
“With the success of Christmas in the Park in 2015, we look forward to providing another jam-packed afternoon of market stalls and entertainment in Elizabeth Park in 2016,” event organiser Jaala Presland added.
“Our ongoing services such as Trainlink ticketing, motorised scooter maintenance and computer use are all still available and staff are always available to answer your questions or direct you to the appropriate agency for help.”
