“Thank you Everyone” from the Gulf Harbour Community Trust (GHCT) 

A community-led initiative to mow the entire Gulf Harbour Country Club with a small team of helpers and support from local businesses got underway on Monday 21 October 2024. On Sunday 03 November a group of approximately 50 volunteers gathered on the golf course and undertook a major cleanup of the grounds focussing mainly on the first nine holes. Two further very successful clean-up days followed, involving upwards of 130 people, while the Mowing Team have continued regular work to keep the greens and fairways tidy. 

KWGS is not directly involved in this initiative but have played a supporting role to enable the team of mowers to get an action plan drawn up, gather resources to get volunteers on-board, setup and register the Gulf Harbour Community Trust (GHCT) and devise a comprehensive clean-up plan. At present we are also collecting donations for the mowers’ operational expenses on behalf of the GHCT.

The following video is an end-of-year summary and “Thank you” from the Trust to everyone involved. GHCT aim to continue their activities for the foreseeable future.
