To Celebrate the cooperation and effort that has been the
hallmark of the ongoing effort to 'Green' our part of the
Lockyer Creek over the past few years, The Helidon & District
Progress Association Inc. in conjunction with Powerlink and
Greening Australia, held a special Tree Planting and Afternoon
Tea on Thursday 9th October 2008 at the CWA Hall, Railway
Street, Helidon.

This Greening Lockyer Recognition Event is supported by
Powerlink Queensland.
Greening Lockyer is an initiative of electricity transmission
company, Powerlink, in partnership with the Lockyer Valley and
Somerset Regional Councils and WESROC. The $1 million Community
Partnership Program, which commenced in 2003, aimed at enhancing
the Lockyer Valley's environment, minimising the impact of
electricity infrastructure, and creating training and employment
opportunities for local residents.
The Greening Lockyer Recognition Events program aims to
encourage community and environmental groups to celebrate their
past efforts, and join together to carry out site maintenance
activities to enhance the great work already achieved at their
Greening Lockyer project sites.
