IT’S time to get out the lawnmower and spend some time in the garden, as two much-anticipated competitions return to Buloke.
The ‘Buloke’s Best Lawn’ and ‘Yard Transformation’ competitions put a spotlight the passion and care that Buloke’s residents invest in their residential green spaces.
By showing off your immaculately kept lawns or stunning yard makeovers, you could win a year’s supply of free green waste disposal, along with a coveted trophy.
The competitions kick off as the Fire Danger Period begins, alongside the Buloke Shire Council’s proactive Mosquito Control Program. Ensuring yards don’t harbour stagnant water can help prevent mosquito proliferation, as well as address common garden pests such as mice, snakes and spiders.
Funded by the Australian and Victorian Community Recovery Program, the council encourages residents to take part in the competitions to contribute to a more pleasant and safe living environment.
For full terms and participation details, visit www.buloke.vic.gov.au, or request an application via post before December 4. The competition closes on 15 December, 2023. Prizes will be awarded at the 2024 Australia Day Celebrations.
