The Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Lajamanu Works crew, together with Brad Marshall from the Community Safety Patrol team combined to build and distribute over 200 new rubbish bins to community members and stakeholders.

 There were 110 household garbage bins and 100 recycling bins put together and placed throughout the community to replace damaged bins still being used.

 This will help keep Lajamanu clean which will in turn help prevent the spread of Coronavirus if it gets to Lajamanu.

 The distribution was done to coincide with the completion of new fencing at the landfill which will allow the re-opening of the community drop off bays. The team has been busy cleaning and clearing the new improved drop off bays to provide safe and easy access to community members.

 In the past four months, the Works Team in Willowra have been busy with an ongoing community clean up including car removals.

 Field Officers Terence Payton and Junior Presley are new employees of Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) and have been using the backhoe to remove the cars. So far twenty-eight cars have been cleared out of the community to the car “graveyard”.

 “I am very happy with the work they have done after only two weeks,” said CDRC Works Team Leader Maurice Lang. “Who would believe Willowra could look like it does after only four months in the job,” he added.

 Thanks to the past and present staff doing a good job, the football oval has improved a lot (main photo), and the basketball court and playground are in a very tidy state.
