The TDCA thank the Alpine Shire Council for their support in the 2020/21 Community Grants Program which has enabled a children’s games area to be painted on the old tennis court area of Pioneer Park.

This project was initiated through an existing level of use of the area by local children without an established games area. The new games area will enhance the games experience, promote social interaction and physical exercise. We anticipate future development of the retired tennis court area as part of the Alpine Better Places initiative. Community input is welcomed!

Project consultants MDG Landscape Architecture have prepared draft detailed concept plans for Alpine Better Places Tawonga.

Residents are invited to a community information session to learn more about the project.

Alpine Better Places aims to revitalise and connect central township and recreation spaces – you don’t want to miss these exciting sessions!

Choose from a lunch or evening session to see the draft plans explained by the project architects, ask any questions and provide feedback.

Tawonga:

Date: Wednesday, 10 February

A war memorial honouring the men and women who left Tawonga and district to serve their country was officially opened in Pioneer Park, Tawonga on the eve of Remembrance Day Sunday 10th November 2019.

One year later the community once again paid their respects in laying wreaths at the memorial, and the placement of poppies. Pictured on the right below are Sue Ryder and Karen Wilkinson at the memorial this year. Sue is Secretary of the Tawonga and District Community Association and Karen grew up in the Kiewa Valley and was present at the opening of the memorial in 2019 (without mask in the photo on the left).
