Drysdale traders thank team for keeping gardens in great shape

THE City of Greater Geelong’s Parks and Gardens team in Drysdale has been praised for its hard work and ongoing maintenance of the streetscapes, parks and gardens around the town.

Michael McFadyen, Julian Butterss, Geoff Pugh and Peter Raines have collectively maintained the parks, open spaces, reserves and streetscapes around Drysdale and the Bellarine for more than 40 years.

Recently, traders in the town showed their appreciation for the team by signing a card to say thanks for their dedicated work keeping open spaces and gardens in great shape.

“It’s really pleasing that the team has been recognised by the community they serve for the work they do every day,” City of Greater Geelong chief executive officer Kelvin Spiller said.

“The Parks and Gardens teams do a fantastic job keeping our public open spaces tidy and looking great for everyone to enjoy.”

The City’s Parks and Gardens team maintain about 1700 hectares of open space, more than 100 sports fields and more than 300 playgrounds throughout Greater Geelong.
