WHAT WE ARE WORKING TOWARDS

A Safer, Cleaner Precinct for Blairgowrie

Clear accumulated waste

Remove accumulated rubbish and discarded materials to restore cleanliness and dignity.

Setup a Perimeter

Install fencing and access points to help protect and better manage the space.

Repair and restore

Address damaged infrastructure and improve the precinct’s safety and usability.

Maintain the area

Establish ongoing cleaning and maintenance to keep the precinct in good condition.

Current Priorities

  • Continued Site clean up and waste removal
  • Engage with JPC for permission to fence off the car park
  • Raise funds to install fence around the parking lot
  • Continued engagement with displaced people to find alternate solutions for them

We’re focusing on urgent actions that will make the biggest practical difference.
