That was how Revive Hunters North was born - just three months ago. Since then, volunteers have come together twice a month on Saturdays to clear weeds & rubbish & smarten up the kerbs, junctions & traffic circles with rocks & water-wise plants.

“We’ve had great support from residents & businesses alike”, says Simon. “For example, Bluewater Construction and Francois Prinsloo sponsored our latest project of repainting the verges & Tony at Dulux assisted them by donating the red paint. Previously, Penhill Nursery kindly donated some plants for the traffic island and Fiona Simpson got involved in landscaping it.”

In addition to upgrading the roadsides, RHN plans to explore other ways to beautify their suburb, keep their streets clean and create a suburb that residents can be proud of.

Although still in its infancy, Revive Hunters North is a shining example of how, thanks to a caring & energetic local resident, a micro project can make a macro difference to the feel & appearance of a single suburb.

If you would like to take part in the fortnightly cleanups, make a financial donation or maybe volunteer your gardener for a few hours, Simon would love to hear from you.
