Australia Light Foundation (ALF) has been undergoing some uplifts and additions recently and we want to update you!
Shade Sails
ALF x Westgate Neighbourhood Fund!
The most important additions to ALF have been the Shades. Brand new high quality shade sails have been installed in front of our social club, children's playground and most importantly, the female seating area in the recently renovated ALF BBQ Area. This upgrade was made possible thanks to the grant ALF received from the amazing West Gate Neighbourhood Fund team at the West Gate Tunnel Project. They have supported ALF and many other organisations and community projects with $10 million in funding to uplift and improve the Hobsons Bay and Maribyrnong City Council communities. A big thank you and a hats off to them for their contributions and good works!
The additional sails to cover our female seating area was one of the key driving forces behind this uplift as ALF Management wanted to ensure shade and covering from the hot Australian Sun for the female members of ALF. ALF can not wait to host a ALF Community BBQ under our new sails. Please check out the gallery at the end of the article for more photos.
The Chickens are back in the ALF Chicken Pen
After a lengthy few years of absence, the Children's favourite, the ALF Chickens have made their return!
The beautiful chickens were nestled in early on Monday morning and have been loving their new home. They have been supplied a healthy load of high quality food and are roaming around enjoying their days near the ALF BBQ Area and Garden. ALF hopes that the chickens will reward us with an abundance of fresh, natural eggs whilst we look after and visit them.
ALF invites all members to bring their animal loving children to see our new chicken and perhaps even give them some names, we would love to hear your suggestions.
ALF will also be on a strict and stringent lookout for the local natural predator, the sly cunning Fox of Tottenham. He receives a mention and ALF attention after his previous antics involving ALF Chickens.
ALF Bike Park
ALF has also installed a bike parking area for our members and community. Located at the front of our facility near our clothing donation bins, you can now glide right in, lock up and walk down peacefully to our Masjid or to our Social Club.
Biking is also a great form of exercise and ALF encourages a healthy lifestyle befitting our beautiful ALF members and the wider community.
We would like to thank Murat and Halil abi for their contributions.
The Land has been cleared, ALF is now one step closer to our Childcare and Early Learning Centre!
ALF Early Learning and Childcare Centre Project is beginning after an extended careful planning and foundation period!
However, as a new beautiful part of our facility comes alive, ALF had to say goodbye to the trees which lined our boundary to make way for construction.
The trees were looked after for 7 years by ALF because they were planted by You, our treasured Members. For those who remember the day, it was called "ALF Tree Planting Day" and it was attended by all the members of ALF. However it is important to note that we are not throwing the bark away, but actually going to be using the bark from those specific trees around our facility to ensure they stay right here at home!
We have now come to the end of our uplift updates and thank you for reading along to stay informed about what is happening at ALF. We will continue to update you as developments continue!
Thank You!
