Historical tribute may be lost

Tile2_29-12-13

In 2003 Melton Council provided the Diggers Rest Primary School with a $4,000 grant which was used to create an historical pathway.

The pathway features mosaics depicting Diggers Rest’s past, present and what the pupils guessed was to be it’s future.

Historical events are an important aspect of the social fabric of Diggers Rest and the preservation of significant moments in time are cherished and help to portray the development of our small town.

It is understood that proposed upgrade works along Plumpton Road adjacent to the school may jeopardise part of this unique pathway project.

The “Walk Through Time” pathway has become an integral piece of the school facade which over its 10 year history reflects a focal story told in tiles.

Any damage or removal to tiles one (1) and two (2) would represent a sad day for the Primary School Community and naturally Diggers Rest.

In the interests of all residents within Diggers Rest it is hoped that careful consideration to the preservation of this important project has not been overlooked.
